Introduction to F4BTMS-2
F4BTMS-2 is a type of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) placa de circuito impreso (tarjeta de circuito impreso) composite material. It consists of ultra-thin woven fiberglass that has been reinforced with nano-ceramic fillers, following a scientific formulation and strict process control. This material represents an improvement over the original PTFE copper-clad laminates in terms of both material composition and manufacturing process. The minimal content of fiberglass allows it to serve as a replacement for similar high-frequency circuit materials found abroad.

Customers can choose between different thicknesses and types of copper foil, including ED, VLP foil, HVLP foil, y 50 W resistive foil, with thicknesses of either 0.5 OZ or 1 ONZ.
Mechanical and Thermal Properties
The mechanical strength of F4BTMS-2, measured by peel strength for a 1oz copper layer, exceeds 15N/cm. Its thermal stress resistance is demonstrated by the ability to withstand tin dipping at 280°C for 10 artículos de segunda clase, repeated three times, without delamination or blistering.
Chemical and Electrical Properties
F4BTMS-2 can be chemically etched using standard PCB methods without altering its dielectric properties. Its density varies based on the dielectric constant model, que van desde 2.18 g/cm³ for DK2.2 to 2.3 g/cm³ for DK2.94 and 3.0 models. The moisture absorption after 24 hours in distilled water at 20±2°C is only 0.02%.
Operating temperatures range from -50°C to +260°C. The thermal conductivity is 0.72 W/m/k, and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) varies by model and direction, with values ranging from 10 ppm/°C to 35 ppm/°C for different directions and temperature ranges. The shrinkage factor after two hours in boiling water is less than 0.0002%. Both surface and volume resistivities are exceptionally high, ensuring excellent electrical insulation properties.
