A variety of base material properties are of interest to the printed circnit mannfacturer, assembler, and original equipment mannfactnrer (OEM). These include thermal, physical, mechanical, and electrical properties. This chapter introdnces some of the most important properties and also provides some comparisons between material types. Most of the test methods used to evaluate these properties can be fonnd in the IPC Test Methods Manual, IPC-TM-650. 

In addition to the previously described test methods, many more can be found in IPC-4101 and in the test methods manual IPC-TM-650. All of these tests address laminate properties that may have a significant impact on the performance of the final product. The final decision as to which qualification tests to include or exclude always needs to be made on a case-by-case basis depending on the performance requirements for the printed circuit board.

Fungus-resistance tests are used to determine the reaction of adhesives to several species of fungi under high humidity and a warm environment in the presence of inorganic salts. Testing for fungus resistance is more appropriate for exposed adhesives as in printed-wiring assemblies than for hermetically sealed devices or modules.

Most of the test methods described in this chapter are based on the test manual IPC-TM-650. It contains industry-approved test techniques and procedures for chemical, mechanical, electrical, and environmental tests on aU forms of printed wiring and connectors. An IPC test method is a procednre by which the properties or constituents of a material, an assembly of materials, or a prodnct can be examined. These test procedures do not contain acceptability levels for specific properties.
