IsoClad 917 RF Copper Clad Laminate Sheet

IsoClad 917 laminates are nonwoven fiberglass/PTFE composites engineered for printed circuit board substrates. Their nonwoven reinforcement makes them well-suited for applications where the final circuit needs to be formed or bent, such as in conformal or "wrap-around" antennas.

Using longer random fibers and a proprietary manufacturing process, IsoClad laminates deliver greater dimensional stability and superior dielectric constant uniformity compared to other nonwoven fiberglass/PTFE materials with similar dielectric properties.

IsoClad 917 laminates (Er=2.17, 2.20) feature a low fiberglass-to-PTFE ratio, offering the lowest available dielectric constant and dissipation factor achievable with a PTFE and fiberglass composite.

Features:
-Nonwoven fiberglass reinforcement
-Low dielectric constant
-Extremely low signal loss

Benefits:
-More flexible than woven fiberglass laminates
-Highly isotropic electrical properties in X, Y, and Z axes

Typical Applications:
-Conformal antennas
-Stripline and microstrip circuits
-Missile guidance systems
-Radar and electronic warfare systems
