F4BM265 High-Frequency PCB with 6.2mm Thick Core for RF/Microwave Applications

1.Product Introduction: Advanced PTFE Composite Material

The F4BM265 laminate represents a significant advancement in high-frequency circuit materials, combining fiberglass cloth, PTFE resin, and PTFE film through a scientifically formulated pressing process. This improved version of F4B offers superior electrical performance with a wider range of dielectric constants, lower loss, higher insulation resistance, and enhanced stability. The material comes in two variants: F4BM with standard ED copper for general applications, and F4BME with reverse-treated foil (RTF) copper for superior PIM performance and conductor loss reduction.
