CEM3 or FR4 PCB, which is the lightest material?

There is nothing about weight in the substrate datasheets I found. Between CEM-3 or FR4, which is the lightest material ? What is the average weight by surface for CEM-3 boards ?

November 17, 2023

CEM-3 is lighter than FR4,the average weight is about 3.5KG/sqm. but now most of PCB manufacturers less use CEM-3 material to make PCB,almost use FR4 material.

Why did the SMT pad fall off easily when soldering the PCB boards?

I am a buyer in a telecom company. Recently, an important order of SMT PCBA is delayed due to insophiscated production of a supplier. I am thinking about replace it and just very puzzled about how did their SMT pad fall off easily when soldering the PCB boards. That slows down the whole process.

Can PCB test points be a source of noise?

If I want to design a PCB with as much noise immunity as possible, should I leave off test points? Can PCB test points be a source of noise?
