Wangling F4BME233 DK2.33 Df0.0011 (0.1-12.0mm) RTF Copper Clad Laminate
Brief Introduction
Wangling F4BME series are PTFE glass fabric copper-clad laminates that share the same dielectric layer as the F4BM series but utilize Reverse Treated Foil (RTF) copper. This configuration delivers excellent Passive Intermodulation (PIM) performance, more precise circuit control, and lower conductor loss, making it ideal for applications with stringent PIM requirements. F4BME233 is the variant with a dielectric constant of 2.33.
Technical Features & Benefits
Selectable Dielectric Constant (Dk) from 2.17 to 3.0; customizable Dk available.
Low dissipation factor (low loss).
Excellent PIM performance (≤ -159 dBc) due to Reverse Treated Foil (RTF) copper.
More precise line control and lower conductor loss.
Good dimensional stability and enhanced size control.
Radiation resistance and low outgassing.
Commercial, high-volume, cost-effective production.
UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
