R-5725S MEGTRON 4S: Heat History and PCB Reliability

Panasonic R-5725S is the MEGTRON 4S laminate, paired with R-5620S prepreg. The S product should not inherit an older plain MEGTRON 4 table without checking the exact source. This page concentrates on thermal history and interconnect review.

Use the Panasonic material overview for portfolio selection. When a mid-loss route is adequate, the practical material decision may depend on the board's assembly and hole geometry as much as on its dielectric characterization.

Preserve the measurement method beside Tg

The regional manufacturer record distinguishes DSC, TMA and DMA transition measurements. For R-5725S it lists a DSC Tg of 200簞C and a DMA value of 215簞C. They describe different measurement techniques, not conflicting operating-temperature ratings.

Similarly, time-to-delamination results with copper and without copper are different tests. Keep the specimen and method with the result. Do not choose the larger number from a different condition to represent the finished board's assembly capability.

Map the real thermal history

Record the expected lamination sequence, soldering exposure and permitted repair cycles. A thick board with fine plated holes can impose different interconnect demands from a simple thin board using the same resin system.

Identify the holes and interfaces that require evidence. A catalog property can inform material screening, but it does not replace the construction-specific acceptance plan or demonstrate that every hole survives the intended production history.

Use thickness expansion as a bounded illustration

The tool integrates two entered expansion coefficients across a simplified sharp transition. Its sample uses a 1.6 mm dielectric, heating from 25簞C to 200簞C, a transition at 150簞C and coefficients of 50 and 250 ppm per degree. The modeled free thickness change is 30 繕m.

Those are hypothetical values. The calculation excludes copper constraint, gradual transition behavior and plated-hole fatigue. It helps explain why the temperature interval matters; it cannot calculate the lifetime of a via or approve repeated reflow.

Using this tool & sharing results

Use the stated units, input limits and model assumptions. Results support an engineering discussion; they do not approve a design, process or production order.

After changing inputs, update the result before using it. Where a download or copy action is available, review that brief and attach or paste it into your enquiry. Opening Contact does not transfer these inputs or send a request.

How to use and share tool results

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.

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.

Compare neighboring materials for a stated task

The R-5735 route-length guide handles another mid-loss construction through an electrical allocation task. Similar application positioning does not imply identical thermal behavior or a common approved bonding recipe.

The HIPER D R-1755D page focuses on an automotive board's thermal expansion discussion. The difference in application context is not a certification boundary by itself. The actual mission profile and agreed board-level evidence remain essential.

Keep electrical suitability in the decision

Thermal screening should not obscure the required channel performance. Preserve the line geometry, copper and frequency used for the design input. A Tg comparison cannot establish loss, impedance or timing equivalence.

The MEGTRON series comparison is the appropriate entry when several families remain candidates. It compares complete channel needs and commercial scope without treating the generation number as an automatic recommendation.

Request a reviewed construction and evidence scope

Provide the exact R-5725S/R-5620S callout, layer map, board thickness, copper, hole sizes, assembly history and quantity. Include critical electrical requirements and the inspection or reliability evidence needed for release.

The cost worksheet accepts only your own allowances. Keep special coupons, testing and qualification work visible when comparing proposals. A useful quote identifies the material and construction assumptions, and does not convert a published Tg into a blanket promise of high-temperature service.

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.
