F4BTD350S PCB Raw Materials

 

 

Product Introduction

Wangling F4BTD series is a new generation of high thermal conductivity PTFE resin high-frequency substrates, reinforced with glass fiber cloth and loaded with high thermally conductive specialty ceramics. Designed for applications requiring low insertion loss and high heat dissipation efficiency, the F4BTD series serves as a direct replacement for similar foreign products.

 

The F4BTD series laminate includes three models: F4BTD350, F4BTD350S, and F4BTD615, with typical dielectric constant, loss, and thermal conductivity values of:

 

F4BTD350: 3.5 / 0.002 / 0.72 W/(M·K)

 

F4BTD350S: 3.5 / 0.0016 / 1.25 W/(M·K)

 

F4BTD615: 6.15 / 0.002 / 1.1 W/(M·K)

 

Among them, F4BTD350S RF PCB material stands out with the lowest loss (0.0016) and highest thermal conductivity (1.25 W/(M·K)) in the series, making it the optimal choice for power-sensitive and heat-intensive RF applications.

 

All models in the F4BTD series microwave Material offer excellent low-loss and high thermal conductivity performance, which increases microwave power tolerance, extends device service life, and supports reliable long-term high-temperature operation. These features ensure equipment reliability and enable low-cost maintenance. Additionally, the F4BTD series provides low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), dimensional stability, high electrical strength, and high insulation performance. These advantages translate into easier PCB processing, higher through-hole reliability, fewer soldering defects, better component matching, and stronger environmental adaptability.

 

F4BTD350S high-frequency laminate, like other F4BTD series products, can be processed using standard PTFE sheet fabrication techniques. The excellent mechanical and physical properties of the F4BTD series laminate make it suitable for multilayer, high-multilayer, and backplane processing, as well as dense hole and fine line circuitry.
