Specialised Materials for PCB Manufacturing at Wrekin Circuits
At Wrekin Circuits, we offer a wide range of specialised materials to meet the specific requirements of your PCB designs.
Whether your project demands enhanced thermal management, high-frequency performance, or durability under extreme conditions, we provide materials that ensure your printed circuit boards perform reliably in any environment. Our UK-based manufacturing facility enables us to work with a variety of advanced materials, ensuring your PCBs are tailored for optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity.
Specialised Materials We Offer:
- High-Tg FR4: For applications requiring enhanced thermal stability, High-Tg FR4 provides superior resistance to heat, withstanding higher operating temperatures compared to standard FR4. This material is ideal for high-power electronics, automotive, and industrial applications.
- Polyimide (Flex): Polyimide flex is a flexible, heat-resistant material widely used in flex and flex-rigid PCBs. It provides outstanding thermal and chemical resistance, making it an ideal choice for industries where durability and flexibility are critical. Applications include aerospace, medical devices, and wearable technology, where reliability under high temperatures and demanding conditions is essential.
- VT901 (Rigid Polyimide): In addition to flex materials, we also offer VT901, a rigid polyimide material designed for extreme temperature environments. VT901 is perfect for high-performance applications that require superior heat tolerance, such as aerospace, military, and power electronics. With its ability to withstand very high operating temperatures, VT901 ensures that your PCBs perform reliably in the most demanding conditions.
- Rogers Materials: For high-frequency and microwave applications, Rogers laminates offer low dielectric constant and minimal signal loss. These materials are ideal for RF circuits, telecommunications, and high-speed digital designs where signal integrity is critical.
- Aluminium-Based PCBs: Aluminium PCBs are designed for superior heat dissipation, making them perfect for high-power LED lighting, power supplies, and automotive applications where effective thermal management is essential.
- PTFE (Teflon): PTFE-based materials are used for PCBs requiring low signal loss and high dielectric strength, particularly in high-frequency, microwave, and radar systems. Their chemical resistance and thermal stability also make them suitable for harsh environments.
