Brief Introduction
F4BM220 is a PTFE and fiberglass composite laminate offering a dielectric constant of 2.20, designed for RF and microwave printed circuit boards. It provides excellent electrical performance, thermal stability, and mechanical reliability for high-frequency electronic applications.
Technical Features & Benefits
Stable Dielectric Constant: Dk = 2.20 ±0.04 at 10 GHz.
Low Loss Performance: Loss tangent of 0.001 at 10 GHz, 0.0014 at 20 GHz.
Low Thermal Expansion: CTE in XY direction: 25–34 ppm/°C, Z direction: 240 ppm/°C.
High Insulation Resistance: Volume resistivity ≥6×10⁶ MΩ·cm.
Good Thermal Conductivity: 0.24 W/(m·K) in Z direction for improved heat dissipation.
