F4BTMS220 2-Layer 5mil PCB – Ultra-Thin High-Frequency Board with Immersion Gold for Aerospace and RF Applications

1.F4BTMS Introduction

The F4BTMS series is an upgraded version of the F4BTM series, achieving a technological breakthrough in material formulation and manufacturing processes. By incorporating a significant amount of ceramics and reinforced ultra-thin, ultra-fine glass fiber cloth, the material demonstrates substantial improvements in performance and a broader range of dielectric constants. It is a high-reliability material suitable for aerospace applications and serves as a domestic replacement for similar foreign products.

The material minimizes the negative effects of glass fiber on electromagnetic wave propagation by using a small amount of ultra-thin glass fiber cloth and a large quantity of uniformly distributed special nano-ceramics mixed with PTFE resin. This results in reduced dielectric loss, enhanced dimensional stability, decreased X/Y/Z anisotropy, extended usable frequency range, improved electrical strength, and better thermal conductivity. Additionally, the material exhibits excellent low thermal expansion coefficient and stable dielectric temperature characteristics. The series comes standard with RTF low-roughness copper foil, reducing conductor loss and ensuring excellent peel strength, and is compatible with both copper and aluminum bases.
