Hello everyone,
Today, we will discuss the F4BM high frequency circuit board.
Overview of F4BM Series
F4BM series laminates are created through a precise formulation and rigorous pressing of fiberglass cloth, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin, and PTFE film. This advanced composition enhances electrical performance compared to the standard F4B series, offering a broader range of dielectric constants, reduced dielectric loss, increased insulation resistance, and improved stability. This makes it a suitable replacement for similar foreign products.

The key specifications of this board include a double-sided configuration, using F4BM265 substrate with a dielectric constant of 2.65. The board measures 210 mm in length and 115 mm in width, with a finished thickness of 1.6 mm and a copper weight of 3 oz. This board features no solder mask or silkscreen, with immersion gold as the surface finish.
Stack-Up Structure
The top and bottom layers consist of 3 oz copper. The F4BM265 dielectric material is situated between these two copper layers, exhibiting a dielectric constant of 2.65.
Visual Inspection
In the image of this board, the tracks appear thicker than those on standard boards. The surface finish is immersion gold, with no solder mask or silkscreen present.
