DiClad 870 Electronics PCB Material for High-Frequency Board Design

Brief Introduction

DiClad laminates are woven fiberglass/PTFE composite materials used as printed circuit board substrates. They provide greater dimensional stability compared to nonwoven fiberglass reinforced PTFE laminates of similar dielectric constants. The consistency and control of the PTFE coated fiberglass cloth result in better dielectric constant uniformity. DiClad laminates are frequently used in filter, coupler, low noise amplifier, power divider, and combiner applications where dielectric constant uniformity and low loss are critical.


Technical Features & Benefits

Woven fiberglass reinforcement for superior dimensional stability
Controlled PTFE/fiberglass ratio for consistent dielectric properties
Low dielectric constant and dissipation factor
Excellent dielectric constant uniformity
Suitable for high-frequency and low-loss applications
