Brief Introduction

Rogers IsoClad 917 PCBs are non-woven fiberglass/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite materials. To deliver an ultra-low dielectric constant—either 2.17 or 2.20—and a dissipation factor of 0.0013, these laminates utilize a low-proportion fiberglass-to-PTFE ratio.

A key advantage of  IsoClad 917 laminate lies in its material and manufacturing design: it incorporates longer random fibers, paired with a proprietary production process. This combination enables the laminate to outperform competitors in the same product class, offering superior dimensional stability and more consistent dielectric constant across the material.

As a non-woven fiberglass-reinforced solution, IsoClad 917 PCB is less rigid compared to woven fiberglass-based laminates. This inherent flexibility makes it ideal for applications where the final printed circuit board (PCB) requires shaping or bending—such as in conformal antennas and wrap-around antennas.
