The rigid copper clad laminate in which the fabric and the core material are composed of different reinforcing materials is called a composite base copper clad laminate. This type of copper clad laminate is mainly the CEM series of copper clad laminates in the NEMA/ANSI standard. In the CEM series, CEM-1 and CEM-3 are the most common varieties. In the early stage of the development and launch of CEM series composite matrix copper clad laminates, there is also a copper clad laminate with epoxy glass fiber paper as the reinforcement material and epoxy resin as the main material, which is called CEM-4.
The difference between CEM-4 and CEM-3 is in two aspects: the two outer sides of the board, without the non-flame retardant of epoxy fiberglass cloth like CEM-3.
Lisaks on olemas CRM-seeria komposiit-substraadi vasega plakeeritud laminaadid. See on vasega plakeeritud laminaat, mille kangaks on polüester{0}}klaaskiudriie ja südamiku materjaliks polüester-kiudpaber. Nende hulgas saab leegiaeglustavast vasega kaetud laminaadist CRM-7 ja mitte-leegiaeglustavast plaadist CRM-8. CEM-4 ja CRM-seeria komposiitpõhjaga vasega plakeeritud laminaatide praegune rakendusturg on väga väike. Seetõttu viitab niinimetatud komposiitpõhja vasega plakeeritud laminaat peamiselt kahele kõige levinumale vasega plakeeritud laminaadile CEM-1 ja CEM-3. CEM-1 plaadi mudel IPC-4101 standardis on NO.10 plaat ja JIS standardi mudeliks CPE1F plaat. CEM-3 plaadi mudel IPC-4101 standardis on NO.12 plaat ja JIS standardi mudeliks CGE3F plaat.
