FR-4 PCB
An FR-4 PCB refers to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that uses FR-4 material as its substrate. FR-4 is a very common composite material used in PCB manufacturing. Its full name is Flame Retardant 4, indicating it meets a specific flame retardancy rating. This material consists of woven fiberglass cloth impregnated with epoxy resin, offering good electrical insulation properties, mechanical strength, and flame retardancy.
Here are some key characteristics of an FR-4 PCB:
● Flame Retardancy
● Electrical Performance
● Mechanical Strength
● Thermal Performance
● Cost-effectiveness

Note:
L:W=2.5: 1 (Should be 2.5:1 or Higher. If It Is Less Than This, The Holes May Be Misaligned.) If You Can't Draw A Long Hole In Your Design, You Can Draw A Continuous Round Hole And It Will Be Regarded As A Long Hole. Also, It Is Okay To Draw The Oblong Hole In Profile Layer Instead Of Drilling Layer.
