1. High-Frequency Microwave Circuit Board Materials (PTFE Series)

Struggling with signal loss and instability in high-frequency applications? Arlon’s PTFE-based high-frequency microwave circuit board materials offer a wide range of dielectric constants (2.2, 2.3, 2.45, 2.5, 2.55, 2.6, 2.65, 2.95, 3.0, 3.2, 3.38, 3.5, 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 6.15, 10.0) and a ultra-low dielectric loss (≤ 0.0030). With stable performance even in harsh conditions, these materials are widely trusted in satellite communication, navigation, radar, antennas, power dividers, combiners, couplers, driver amplifiers, and other critical high-frequency products.

3. Classification & Application of Arlon PCB Prototype Products

Arlon PCB prototype products are divided into two core categories, with each material engineered to solve specific customer pain points and meet strict application requirements:

3.1 High-Reliability Polyimide Materials (33N, 35N, 85N)

Need PCBs that can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh service environments? Arlon’s high-reliability polyimide materials are designed for scenarios like aerospace equipment control systems, semiconductor aging tests, oil drilling, and ultra-high-layer PCB processing. Boasting an industry-leading glass transition temperature (Tg 250°C) and decomposition temperature (TD 380°C), these materials ensure stable performance in the most demanding conditions—where failure is not an option.

3.2 Thermount Materials (55NT, 55ST, 55RT)

Facing challenges with bare chip packaging, high-density drilling, or weight constraints? Arlon’s Thermount materials deliver exceptional dimensional stability (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion, CTE) and are ideal for bare die packaging. Their non-woven resin fiber structure enables high-density laser drilling, anti-CAF (Conductive Anodic Filament) protection, and lightweight design—perfect for high-reliability electronic products with strict weight requirements, such as high-end packaging substrates, navigation systems, and ALIVH (Any Layer Interstitial Via Hole) processes.

3.3 No-Flow Series (47N, 49N, 99N)

For rigid-flex bonded boards and heat-dissipating cold plates in automotive and high-power applications, Arlon’s no-flow series offers unmatched performance. These materials are engineered to handle high temperatures and heavy loads, making them a go-to choice for industries where reliability and heat management are critical.

3.4 Thermal Conductivity Series (99N, 99ML)

Heat accumulation is a major challenge in LED and high-power power supply applications—and Arlon’s thermal conductivity series materials are the solution. With superior heat transfer performance, they boost device reliability, extend service life, and ensure stable operation even in high-power scenarios, making them a game-changer for LED and power supply manufacturers.

3.5 11N Material

Developed in recent years, Arlon’s 11N material (Tg 220°C, TD 310°C) is designed for high-speed backplanes, digital-analog hybrid microwave communication, semiconductor testing, and other cutting-edge applications. Its balanced performance and durability make it a promising choice for next-generation electronic products.

4. Arlon Microwave Materials

Arlon’s microwave materials cover a dielectric constant (DK) range of 2.2 to 10.2, with two main types tailored to diverse needs:

Pure PTFE: Equipped with different reinforcing materials (glass woven fabric, non-woven glass fiber) to balance performance and flexibility, meeting the unique requirements of various microwave applications.
CLTE Series: PTFE filled with ceramic powder, featuring exceptional temperature stability—DK remains unchanged with temperature, and CTE is extremely small. It can be manufactured into PCBs with up to 64 layers for global communication satellites. Other ceramic powder-filled PTFE materials offer a variety of dielectric constants, making them ideal for multi-layer microwave printed boards. These products are widely used in mobile phones, antennas, base station electronic systems, wireless broadband, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

4.1 FOAMCLAD Material (Arlon Exclusive)

Looking for a cost-effective solution for base station antennas and RFID applications? Arlon’s unique lightweight FOAMCLAD foam material is tailor-made for these scenarios, offering a one-of-a-kind combination of low cost, low signal loss, and minimal surface wave—advantages no competitor can match. It helps you balance performance and cost efficiency, without compromising on reliability.

4.2 TC350 Material (Key High-Performance Product)

Arlon’s TC350 is a glass fiber-reinforced, ceramic-filled PTFE composite PCB material—engineered to solve the most pressing challenges in high-power, high-frequency applications. Its core advantages include:

Enhanced Heat Transfer: Equipped with “best-in-class” thermal conductivity, it reduces dielectric loss and insertion loss while efficiently dissipating heat—eliminating hot spots and boosting equipment reliability.
Improved Power Handling Capacity: Superior thermal conductivity extends the service life of active components, reducing maintenance costs and improving overall system performance.
Complementary Thermal Management: Works seamlessly with heat sinks, radiators, or thermal vias, providing designers with additional flexibility to manage heat—even in scenarios with limited thermal management options.
Stable Dielectric Constant: Maintains ultra-stable performance across a wide temperature range, helping power amplifier and antenna designers maximize gain and eliminate dead-band bandwidth loss caused by dielectric drift—critical for phase and impedance-sensitive devices like power amplifier network transformers.
Reliable Plated Through Holes: Low Z-direction CTE matches copper, ensuring unparalleled reliability of plated through holes and long-term performance.
Stress Resistance: As a “soft substrate,” it is relatively insensitive to vibration-induced stress and impact from drop tests—ideal for rugged applications.
Low Insertion Loss: Uses microwave-grade low-profile copper with strong adhesion. Unlike ceramic hydrocarbons that require “toothed copper” for bonding, TC350 uses smooth copper, minimizing copper skin effect loss—especially critical at high RF and microwave frequencies.

5. Application Fields of Arlon PCB Materials
