Park Electrochemical Corp. has announced that its N4000-2 EF™ bromine-free epoxy FR-4 multilayer material system has received UL recognition, including 94V-0 flame retardancy classification. Park/Nelco also announced that the N4000-2 EF™ system has already received OEM approval from three major OEMs.
The EF™ series of laminate and prepreg is designed to bridge the gap between existing high performance materials and the bromine-free and reduced-halogen requirements demanded by environmentally conscious OEMs worldwide. The N4000-2 EF provides a viable alternative to major electronics manufacturers seeking to eliminate halogens such as bromine in the newer environmentally friendly products. N4000-2 EF is designed for use in high-density multilayer boards and is suitable for surface mount multilayers. This product retains the wide process latitude normally associated with fiberglass-reinforced epoxy laminate systems.
