Brief Introduction
DiClad 880 is a woven fiberglass reinforced PTFE composite laminate designed for high-frequency printed circuit board applications. With dielectric constants of 2.17 and 2.20, it provides excellent electrical uniformity and low loss, making it ideal for RF and microwave circuits where signal integrity and dimensional stability are critical.
Technical Features & Benefits
Low Dielectric Constant: Dk = 2.17 or 2.20 at 10 GHz, with high uniformity across the panel.
Ultra-Low Loss: Dissipation factor as low as 0.0009 at 10 GHz.
Excellent Thermal Stability: Thermal coefficient of Dk = –160 ppm/°C for reliable performance over temperature.
High Electrical Insulation: Volume resistivity up to 1.4×10⁹ MΩ·cm, surface resistivity up to 2.9×10⁶ MΩ.
Good Mechanical Strength: Balanced tensile, compressive, and flexural modulus for reliable PCB fabrication.
