2. Description of the Related Art As consumer electronic devices and industrial electronic devices are becoming smaller and more sophisticated, circuit boards to which a high voltage is applied, such as computers and measuring instruments, require heavy objects such as transformers and transistors. Therefore, a thermosetting resin glass woven laminate is used because of its strength. Furthermore,
In addition to this, a substrate having excellent tracking resistance has been required from the standpoint of ensuring safety in order to increase the density. Conventionally, in a phenolic resin laminate used for consumer equipment, a melamine resin, an alicyclic epoxy resin or a polyester resin, which hardly carbonizes, is used as an adhesive used for bonding a metal foil because of the tracking resistance. Was. On the other hand, epoxy laminates such as composite laminates tend to be thinner with miniaturization and higher density, so it is difficult to apply an adhesive to the metal foil, or the metal foil becomes The metal foil with the adhesive cannot be used due to curling or the like. On the other hand, for industrial equipment, an alicyclic epoxy resin or a resin having a small number of aromatic rings, such as an unsaturated polyester resin, has been used to improve tracking resistance. There were problems such as insufficient strength and weak peeling strength with the metal foil.

According to the present invention, a resin for a surface layer is constituted by an epoxy resin containing no bromine, and

A printed circuit laminate, comprising 10 to 200 parts by weight of an inorganic filler with respect to 0 parts by weight. In the present invention, aluminum hydroxide is a hydrated alcohol.
It also includes Mina. In the present invention, aluminum hydroxide used for the surface layer is contained in an amount of 10 to 200 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 150 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the resin. If the surface layer is formed only of a non-brominated epoxy resin without containing any aluminum hydroxide, the effect on tracking resistance is low, and the same applies even when the content of aluminum hydroxide is less than 10 parts by weight. If the amount exceeds 200 parts by weight, the resin viscosity at the time of mixing the aluminum hydroxide becomes too high, so that it becomes difficult to impregnate the glass woven fabric, and both are not preferable.

In the present invention, hydroxylic acid is used as an inorganic filler.
Aluminum is preferred over flame retardancy, workability and flame resistance
Used properly. Further, when aluminum hydroxide is used for the surface layer, the effect of improving the tracking resistance is great. In the present invention, while the tracking resistance is improved by configuring the surface layer as described above, aluminum hydroxide enters between the filaments of the glass woven fabric while maintaining the solder heat resistance and the copper foil peeling strength. Thereby, the surface roughness can be improved. On the other hand, the intermediate layer uses a brominated epoxy resin as a main component as an epoxy resin, and uses an inorganic filler in an amount of 10 to 2 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the resin.
By using 00 parts by weight, flame retardancy and workability can be improved. If the amount of the inorganic filler is less than 10 parts by weight, the flame resistance and workability become insufficient, and
If the amount is more than the weight part, the resin viscosity at the time of mixing the inorganic filler becomes high, and it becomes difficult to impregnate the glass nonwoven fabric, which is not preferable.

[Function] Hydroxide compounded in the epoxy resin of the surface layer
It is considered that the reason why the aluminum improves the tracking resistance is that aluminum hydroxide is present on the surface of the formed laminated plate, thereby reducing the proportion of the resin on the surface. Furthermore, the reason why aluminum hydroxide is preferable is that aluminum hydroxide is decomposed by the heat of electric discharge to generate water, and water and the organic matter decomposed by the electric discharge react with each other to generate a volatile substance. Is considered to be prevented.
