FR4/G10/G11 Fiberglass Sheet Density and Thermal Conductivity

Author: Admin
Read:1 views

Density Comparison (FR4 vs G10 vs G11)

All three materials are glass fiber–reinforced epoxy laminates, so their densities are very similar:

MaterialDensity (g/cm³)Notes
FR41.85–2.0 (typical 1.9)Contains flame-retardant additives; UL94 V-0
G101.80–2.0 (typical 1.9)No flame retardant; mechanically stable
G111.85–2.0 (typical 1.95)Enhanced high-temperature performance; Class F (155°C)

Summary: The densities are nearly identical, with G11 slightly higher on average.

Thermal Conductivity Comparison (FR4 vs G10 vs G11)

All three materials are low thermal-conductivity insulation laminates:

MaterialThermal Conductivity (W/m·K)Notes
FR40.25–0.35 (typical 0.29)Flame-retardant; low thermal conductivity
G100.25–0.30Similar to FR4, without flame retardant
G110.28–0.35More stable at high temperature; slightly higher thermal conduction

Summary: G11 > FR4 ≥ G10 in thermal conductivity (differences are small).

Final Summary

Density: Nearly the same for all three materials (1.85–2.0 g/cm³).
Thermal Conductivity: 0.25–0.35 W/m·K, with G11 slightly higher.
G11 offers the best high-temperature performance.
FR4 offers flame retardancy.
G10 is a general-purpose mechanical grade.
