Wangling F4BM255 DK2.55 Df0.0013 (0.1-12.0mm) ED Copper Clad Laminate
Brief Introduction
Wangling F4BM series are PTFE glass fabric copper-clad laminates made from PTFE resin, PTFE film, and woven glass fabric. They offer improved electrical performance over standard F4B, including a wider dielectric constant range, lower loss, higher insulation resistance, and better stability, making them suitable substitutes for similar international products. F4BM255 uses standard ED copper foil and is ideal for applications without PIM requirements.
Technical Features & Benefits
Selectable Dielectric Constant (Dk) from 2.17 to 3.0; Dk 2.55 with customizable options available
Low dissipation factor (Df 0.0013 @ 10GHz, 0.0018 @ 20GHz)
Good dimensional stability and enhanced size control
Radiation resistance and low outgassing
Commercial, high-volume, cost-effective production
UL 94 V-0 flammability rating
Long-term operating temperature: -55°C to +260°C
Very low moisture absorption (≤0.08%)
