The features of the high frequency mmWave77 PCB material
Stable Dk/Df over Frequency and Temperature
Maintains reliable electrical performance across a broad spectrum of frequencies and thermal conditions, crucial for mmWave and 5G systems. Exceptional stability across a broad frequency range (up to 77GHz) and over temperature variations ensures consistent circuit performance without unexpected shifts.
Dielectric Constant (Dk)
With a low Dk of 3.07 at 10GHz, mmWave77 maintains exceptional dielectric stability over frequency and temperature, which is critical for maintaining impedance control and signal integrity in high speed and high frequency circuits.
Dissipation Factor (Df)
Exhibits exceptionally low Df (typically 0.0008 @ 10 GHz), minimizing signal loss (insertion loss) at high frequencies – paramount for mmWave signal integrity and range. The material has a very low dissipation factor, minimizing signal loss and ensuring efficient transmission of high-frequency signals.
Tight Dielectric Tolerance (±0.04)
This extremely low tolerance allows for more precise impedance control during design and manufacturing, reducing yield loss and the need for design guard bands, especially critical for complex antenna arrays and feed networks.
Low Moisture Absorption
Shengyi mmWave77 laminate features a low absorption rate of 0.01%. Moisture ingress can significantly alter Dk/Df and degrade performance. mmWave77’s inherently low moisture absorption ensures stable electrical properties and reliability even in humid conditions.
Excellent Copper Peel Strength
Provides strong adhesion between the copper foil and dielectric substrate, essential for the mechanical robustness of fine-line circuits and plated structures, preventing delamination during fabrication, assembly, and use.
UL 94V-0 Flame Rating
Shengyi mmWave77 laminate meets the UL 94V-0 flammability standard, providing enhanced safety and compliance for use in commercial and industrial electronics. Meets the stringent UL 94V-0 flammability standard, a critical safety requirement for many electronic applications, particularly automotive.
