New Astra(TM) Laminates Deliver 0.0017 Loss for PCB Designs
CHANDLER, Ariz., 2013-08-08 14:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Isola Group S.a.r.l., a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric
prepreg materials used to fabricate advanced multi-layer Printed Circuit Boards
(PCBs), today announced Astra(tm), the company's breakthrough very low-loss
dielectric constant (Dk) product for millimeter wave frequencies and beyond.
Astra revolutionizes RF and microwave designs, as it delivers a thermoset
solution, which is very easy to process and has stable electrical properties
over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies.
The lead-free Astra laminate materials exhibit exceptional electrical
properties that are constant over a broad frequency and temperature range.
Astra features a Dk that is stable between 55 degrees Celsius and +125 degrees
Celsius. In addition, Astra offers a lower dissipation factor (Df) of 0.0017,
making it an extremely cost-effective alternative to PTFE and other commercial
microwave laminate materials.
'Astra enables up to a 50 percent lower cost of ownership because of its
processing advantages and lower price point. The product requires a press cycle
that is roughly one-half that of competitive products and processing
temperatures below 200 degrees Celsius, making it compatible with a wide range
of hybrid products,' stated Tarun Amla, Executive Vice President and Chief
Technology Officer at Isola Group.
Astra does not require the use of plasma cleaning, an offline and expensive PCB
hole-wall preparation process. Astra also enables lower drilling costs, as its
unfilled system provides easier drilling and extends drill life. It is
available in all glass styles and thickness configurations, which eliminates
the barriers to board thickness. Astra also demonstrates a high-peel strength,
which enables use of special copper types to deliver very-low passive
intermodulation numbers.
Astra is suitable for many of today's commercial RF/microwave printed circuit
designs that operate at 24 GHz. and 77 GHz frequencies. Key applications
include long antennas and such radar applications for automobiles as adaptive
cruise control, collision avoidance, blind spot detection, lane departure
warning and stop-and-go systems.
Astra samples are available now from Isola's Chandler, Arizona manufacturing
facility. To inquire about this patent-pending product, order samples and
participate in alpha testing, please contact astra(at)isola-group.com. The Astra
data sheet is available now at http://www.isola-group.com/products/astra/.
