CuClad 217 High Frequency PCB
Introduction
Rogers CuClad 217 laminates are composite materials consisting of
woven fiberglass and precisely controlled PTFE. They are designed
with a cross-plied construction, providing both electrical and
mechanical isotropy within the plane. The low fiberglass/PTFE ratio
in CuClad 217 results in the lowest dielectric constant (Dk) and
dissipation factor available in fiberglass reinforced PTFE based
laminates. These unique properties contribute to faster signal
propagation and higher signal/noise ratios.
Features & Benefits
Rogers CuClad 217 offers a low dielectric constant of 2.17 or 2.20,
allowing for wider line widths and lower insertion loss in PCB
designs. It exhibits a low dissipation factor of 0.0009 at 10 GHz,
making it suitable for high-frequency applications due to the low
circuit losses.
This material has low moisture absorption and out-gassing
properties, ensuring dimensional stability and reliability in
various environmental conditions. CuClad 217 maintains a stable
dielectric constant across a wide frequency range, providing
consistent performance.
PCB Capability
We can provide you with single-sided, double-sided, multi-layer
PCBs, as well as hybrid PCBs, offering options for copper weight
including 1oz (35µm), 2oz (70µm), and 3oz (105µm).
Additionally, we can accommodate various dielectric thicknesses
such as 10mil (0.254mm), 20mil (0.508mm), 31mil (0.787mm), and
62mil (1.575mm), while our capabilities cover PCB sizes up to 400mm
X 500mm.
You can choose from a range of solder mask colors including green,
black, blue, yellow, red, and more. Furthermore, we provide
multiple surface finish options such as immersion gold, HASL,
immersion silver, immersion tin, ENEPIG, OSP, bare copper, pure
gold, and others.
Applications
CuClad 217 PCB is commonly used in electronics applications such as
radars, Electronic Countermeasures(ECM), and Electronic Support
Measures(ESM).
It is also well-suited for microwave components like Low-Noise
Amplifiers(LNAs), filters, couplers, and other related devices.
Thank you. I’ll see you next time.
