Panasonic R-1705 PCB: Double-Sided Core and Copper
Panasonic R-1705 is a glass-epoxy material offered for double-sided circuit boards. Its useful purchasing description includes copper and core dimensions, not merely the familiar FR-4 category. This page helps reconcile an R-1705 drawing with the supplied board construction.
Use the Panasonic material overview when selecting among material families. Here the focus is the double-sided core, dimensional tolerances and the information needed for a repeatable fabrication inquiry.

Read the actual R-1705 property conditions
Panasonic's Japanese product documentation identifies the double-sided grade and lists electrical characterization at low test frequencies. A value measured at 1 MHz under a stated conditioning sequence should not be presented as a 10 GHz routing model.
Retain the source revision and specimen thickness with any copied property. Where a public field is blank, leave it unresolved until the relevant controlled sheet is obtained. Inferring a thermal rating from another Panasonic grade creates a specification that the manufacturer did not issue.
Construction decisions at a glance
| Review focus | Established context | Design boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Material form | Double-sided glass epoxy | Not every glass composite is FR-4. |
| Electrical source | Low-frequency characterization | Do not relabel as GHz model. |
| Dimension | Dielectric versus copper-clad core | Count foil once. |
State whether thickness includes copper
The core reconciliation tool adds a dielectric-only dimension to the two supplied copper foils. For example, 0.20 mm of dielectric plus 18 繕m on each side gives 0.236 mm over copper. The example explains units; it is not a stocked R-1705 construction.
If the purchase specification already includes copper, adding foil again is wrong. Mark the measurement surfaces on a cross-section sketch and state the tolerance independently. Final plating, surface finish and solder mask may further change a finished-board gauge measurement.
| Review item | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Identity | R-1705 double-sided glass-epoxy callout and source |
| Thickness | Declare dielectric-only or over-copper dimension |
| Assembly | Actual soldering and repair history |
| Boundary | No inferred GHz model or service-temperature rating |

Use the current inputs and keep the assumptions
Start with the example only to inspect the units and the calculation boundary. Replace every assumption with a value tied to your own document or measurement. An empty numeric field is not zero. The review-reference field is a local label; avoid entering customer names, confidential part numbers or other private information into a public worksheet.
After calculating, read the notes alongside the numerical result. Changing any input invalidates the displayed result and disables its download until you calculate again. For a comparison, keep the units, geometry, material condition and measurement boundary consistent. A long decimal result does not imply equally precise input data. The downloadable record stays on your device and can be attached manually to an inquiry. It is not automatically transferred into the Contact form.
If an input is unknown, identify the person or document needed to resolve it. Do not fill a gap with a favorable generic value simply to obtain a result. You can request a material or fabrication review without using the tool. The arithmetic illustrates a relationship; it does not accept a construction, certify a material, establish current pricing or replace a supplier process specification.
| Input | What to establish before using it |
|---|---|
| Review reference | Nonconfidential revision label. |
| Cured dielectric thickness 繚 mm | Supplier basis excluding copper. |
| Top copper thickness 繚 繕m | As supplied, before inner-layer etching. |
| Bottom copper thickness 繚 繕m | As supplied, before inner-layer etching. |
Optional cost comparison from your own allowances
Use a quotation or a clearly labeled internal assumption for each input. Keep the quantity, construction and inspection scope the same when comparing alternatives. This uncalibrated planning model adds entered values; it contains no current market rates and does not issue a 勛圖tv quotation. You can contact the team without completing it.
Optional project allowance comparison
Choose copper for the actual circuit
For a control board, identify narrow necks, connector feeds and ground returns rather than describing every conductor with one nominal width. Finished copper and etch geometry belong in the drawing where they affect function. Board thickness and hole geometry also influence mechanical fit.
The R-1786 CEM-3 guide is a different material route for a copper and current discussion. Its composite reinforcement should not be silently substituted for R-1705 glass epoxy just because both products can appear in a two-sided construction.

Separate chemical declarations from thermal assembly
Halogen composition, flammability and assembly heat resistance answer different questions. A material family name does not establish all three. If the project requires a halogen-free construction, review the R-1566 specification guide and request the exact declaration for the proposed supply.
For soldering, provide the intended thermal history and any repair allowance. The fabricator needs the actual board geometry and acceptance scope; a single catalog transition temperature is not an assembly process approval or a continuous-use temperature.
Preserve the repeat-build identity
Older procurement records may use a short material callout and a separate thickness table. Recover both before requesting a replacement. Record copper, reinforcement, hole pattern, mechanical tolerances and previous exceptions that were part of the approved build.
The R-1766(GH) guide explains why another glass-epoxy designation should not be treated as an automatic high-heat upgrade. A change of grade remains a controlled engineering decision even when the nominal board dimensions are unchanged.
Prepare an inquiry that can be answered
Send the R-1705 callout, drawing revision, layer construction, board size, quantity and the dimensions that govern fit. State whether exact material is mandatory and whether an alternative may be proposed for review. Keep any missing original data visible.
Use the optional allowance worksheet only with your own quote or internal assumption. Include drilling, finish, inspection and any one-time setup consistently. The useful output is a comparable scope and an explicit material decision, not a price derived from the grade name alone.
Close the material and construction decision together
The finished board combines a dielectric, copper patterns, holes, surface coatings and a manufacturing history. Its behavior cannot be inferred from a family name alone. State the supplied grade, reinforcement, thickness, copper and processing conditions that matter to the intended application.
Keep handling and assembly requirements with the fabrication drawing. A thin panel, punched outline or unusual support condition can change the production route even when the electrical circuit is simple. Ask the fabricator to review the actual features and panel format rather than assuming a dimensional example represents a production capability.
For cost comparison, hold the drawing, quantity, test scope and acceptance requirements constant. Record one-time tooling separately from recurring work, and distinguish raw material utilization from accepted-board yield. Any calculator on this page uses supplied assumptions; an actual quotation requires the files and an agreed scope.
A source-qualified table should be read alongside the exclusions and footnotes, not separated from them. If the supplier limits an application, identify whether that limitation affects the current design before requesting a price. A familiar family classification does not override an explicit restriction, and a positive calculator result cannot remove it.
For a repeat build, compare the newly proposed supply with the previously approved material record. Exact grade, manufacturing site where relevant, foil treatment, reinforcement and dimensional basis can matter. Define which changes require notification and which need technical approval. This avoids turning a purchasing substitution into an unnoticed design change.
Receiving records should support the agreed identity and traceability requirement. A certificate for a raw material, a finished-board inspection report and an assembly test result cover different boundaries. Request the records that actually answer the project questions rather than collecting unrelated certificates.
When a source contains conflicting values, keep the discrepancy visible until a controlled revision or written supplier response resolves it. Do not create a new table by combining the most favorable entries from several sources. The released drawing, material list and quotation should all describe the same accepted construction.
Standards, source context and limits
Use the edition, amendment and material-document revision named in the purchase agreement. A standards title, marketing label or supplier product family does not establish that a particular lot meets a requirement. Public summaries are useful for scope; the controlled specification and applicable test method govern acceptance.
The examples on this page are illustrative engineering scenarios. They are not 勛圖tv production records or guaranteed material values. Source links identify the organizations responsible for the referenced information. Confirm applicability to the exact grade, construction and test condition before carrying a number into a drawing or qualification report. Sources were reviewed on 3 October 2026. A public catalog search is not proof that an unlisted product never existed. Where the exact designation or current technical sheet could not be verified, this page provides a clarification workflow rather than an invented material specification. Current supply, construction availability and qualification remain separate questions.
