Key Advantages of F4BM PCBs:

Wider range of dielectric constants (DK): 2.17 to 3.0
Ultra-low dielectric loss (DF): 0.001 to 0.0018
Enhanced insulation resistance and stability
PIM-free performance with forward-rotating ED copper foil
Cost-effective replacement for imported high-frequency PCB materials
