Brief Introduction

ThunderClad 2 (TU-883 PCB) is a ultra-low-loss material formulated with a high-performance resin system. Reinforced with standard woven E-glass, TU-883 material features an engineered resin composition that delivers an extremely low dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df)—key properties that make it ideal for high-speed, low-loss, radio frequency (RF), and wireless circuit applications.

 

ThunderClad 2 is fully compatible with environmentally friendly lead-free manufacturing processes, while also aligning with standard FR-4 production workflows to ensure ease of integration. TU-883 laminates offer a suite of enhanced performance attributes, including excellent moisture resistance, optimized coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), superior chemical resistance, reliable thermal stability, and strong resistance to conductive anodic filament (CAF) formation.
