By using fewer plies of woven fiberglass and a higher ratio of PTFE content, the DiClad 870 and DiClad 880 laminates offer lower dielectric constants (Dk) and dissipation factors at a similar thickness to other laminates in the DiClad® series.

Features

  • Dk of 2.33 for DiClad 870 laminates
  • Dissipation factor of .0013 at 10GHz for DiClad 870 laminates
  • Dk of 2.17 or 2.20 for DiClad 880 laminates
  • Dissipation factor of .0009 at 10GHz for DiClad 880 laminates

Benefits

  • Lowest moisture absorption among PTFE based composites
  • Stable Dk over a wide frequency range
  • Low Dk supports wider line widths for lower insertion loss
