CuClad® & IsoClad® Series Laminates

CuClad® and IsoClad® laminates are Fiberglass Reinforced PTFE-based composites for use in High Frequency Applications as Printed circuit board substrates and Radomes. CuClad laminates use woven fiberglass while IsoClad laminates use non-woven fiberglass as reinforcement.

Features

• Low Dielectric Constant – Typical Range:
  • CuClad: 2.17 through 2.60
  • IsoClad: 2.17 through 2.33
• Low Electrical Loss (tan δ from 0.0009 to 0.0018 at X-band)
• Low Moisture Absorption
• Stable Dk Over Frequency
• IsoClad laminates are Available up to 48” x 54”; CuClad laminates are available up to 36” x 48”

Benefits

• Suitable for Wide-Band Frequency Applications
• Higher Gain in Amplifier and Antenna Designs
• Negligible Performance Drift Caused by High Moisture Environments
• First Article Success Leads to Faster Time to Market
• Sheet Sizes Accommodate Larger PCB or Radome Format

Typical Applications

• Antennas for Defense Communication Systems
• Airborne and Ground Based RADAR Systems
• Radome and Frequency Selective Surfaces
• Lumped Element Filter Designs
• Conformal Antennas
