Materials
Halogen-free PCBs are circuit boards made without bromine and chlorine-containing flame retardants. These materials are commonly used in standard FR-4 PCBs but can be harmful to the environment and health. Halogen-free PCBs offer an environmentally friendly alternative with improved electrical properties, higher temperature resistance, and lower toxicity.
With their environmentally friendly and high-performance properties, halogen-free PCBs are a preferred choice for numerous applications. They are RoHS-compliant and contain no harmful halogens like bromine or chlorine, making them particularly eco-friendly. Their improved electrical properties, such as a lower dielectric constant (Dk), ensure optimal signal quality. They also offer high thermal stability and can withstand temperatures up to 30000b0C. Another benefit is their low smoke and toxic gas emission, providing increased safety for critical applications. Because of these features, they are ideal for high-speed and high-frequency circuits.
Depending on application requirements, various halogen-free PCB substrates are available:
Halogen-free PCBs are used in sectors with high environmental and safety requirements. In medical technology, they ensure safe materials in portable and stationary medical devices. The automotive industry and electromobility benefit from reduced emissions, making them ideal for eco-friendly vehicles. In telecommunications and networking, they ensure optimal signal quality at high frequencies. They are also used in industrial electronics, offering sustainable solutions for controls and sensors. Furthermore, they are used in consumer electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, and smart home technologies.
