IsoClad 917 laminates use a low ratio of non-woven fiberglass/PTFE to achieve the lowest dielectric constant and dissipation factor available in its class. The non-woven reinforcement allows these laminates to be used in applications where the final PCB may be bent in shape, including con-formal or wrap-around antennas. IsoClad’s longer random fibers and proprietary process provide greater dimensional stability and dielectric constant uniformity than competitors in similar classes.

Features

  • Dk of 2.17 or 2.20
  • Dissipation factor of .0013 at 10GHz
  • Extremely low loss
  • Low moisture absorption

Benefits

  • Less rigid than woven fiberglass
  • Highly isotropic in X, Y and Z axis
  • Stable Dk over range of frequencies
  • Improved dimensional stability
