Introduction to CuClad 250 Laminates

CuClad  250 laminates are engineered to provide a perfect balance of electrical and mechanical properties, making them a preferred choice for high-frequency applications. These laminates are composed of a cross-plied, woven fiberglass and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite, which ensures excellent dimensional stability and low thermal expansion in all directions. The higher fiberglass-to-PTFE ratio in CuClad 250 substrates enhances mechanical strength, bringing it closer to that of conventional substrates while maintaining superior electrical performance.

Key Features

The CuClad 250 0.508mm Rogers PCB is designed to deliver outstanding performance in high-frequency environments. Below are its key features:

2.1 Low Dielectric Constant (Dk):

Dk range of 2.40 to 2.55 at 10GHz ensures consistent signal propagation and supports wider trace widths for reduced insertion loss.

2.2 Low Dissipation Factor (Df):

A Df of 0.0017 at 10GHz minimizes signal loss, making it ideal for high-frequency and microwave applications.

2.3 Low Moisture Absorption:

Moisture absorption of just 0.03% ensures reliable performance in humid environments.

2.4 Excellent Peel Strength:

Peel strength of 14 lbs/in ensures strong adhesion between copper layers and the substrate, enhancing durability.

2.5 Low Outgassing Properties:

Total Mass Loss (TML) of 0.01%, Collected Volatile Condensable Material (CVCM) of 0.0%, and Water Vapor Regain (WVR) of 0% make it suitable for aerospace and vacuum applications.

2.6 Cross-Plied Woven Fiberglass Construction:

Alternating plies oriented at 90 degrees to each other provide balanced mechanical and electrical properties.

2.7 High PTFE-to-Glass Ratio:

Ensures superior dielectric constant uniformity and low circuit losses compared to non-woven fiberglass laminates.
