To extend the cruising range of a BEV or to improve the power output of an Industrial Device, SiC and GaN semiconducters are used for related electronic components like DC/DC converter or Inverter. Those devices are able to work at higher voltages and also higher temperatures. On the other hand, the reductions of size and weight are common topics on every automotive part.

The CTI (comparative tracking index) and the RTI (Reference Temperature Index) are important base material characteristics to support such market trends.
 

Relationship between creepage distance and CTI
 
CTI is used to assess the relative resistance of insulating materials to tracking. It is one of the factors that influences the layout of the creepage distance on a PCB (Fig.1).
Fig.1 Creepage distance
 
It is possible to reduce the creepage distance on a board, at the same voltage, if a material with a higher CTI is used. (Fig.2)
Fig.2 General relationship between Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) and creepage distance
 
Relationship between RTI* and MOT
 
In former Times FR-4 has been dedicated to a max. RTI (Reference Temperature Index) of a maximum of 130°C. Because of higher temperature requirements on PCB application and its components (like GaN and SiC), a new class of FR Material has been introduced. The FR 15 class.

Materials inside this class are showing a max. RTI of 150°C.
If the final equipment has to fulfil a MOT (Maximum Operation Temperature) of 150°C, you must use base materials with a minimum RTI of 150°C.


* RTI (Relative Thermal Index)
An indicator of the ability of a material to retain certain physical properties (physical, electrical, etc.) when exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
 
The heat is on!
 

R-3566D, a high CTI and high RTI material, has an excellent tracking resistance and excellent heat resistance. This material is suitable for various applications that require high voltage and downsizing, such as automotive and industrial applications.
