The Arlon 11N PCB is a high-performance, 6-layer printed circuit board engineered specifically for high-speed backplane applications and complex digital routing. Built utilizing Arlon’s specialized polyimide resin system, this board offers superior thermal resistance and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) across the X, Y, and Z axes. It provides OEMs and network hardware developers with the precise impedance control and minimal signal attenuation required for high-bandwidth data transmission.
Key Features of Arlon 11N Substrates
-
6-Layer Stackup: Optimised layer distribution for controlled impedance, reduced crosstalk, and efficient power distribution.
-
Excellent Thermal Performance: High glass transition temperature ($T_g \ge 250^\circ\text{C}$) ensures structural integrity during sequential lamination and lead-free soldering processes.
-
Low Dissipation Factor: Minimal dielectric loss ensures clean signal propagation in GHz-range backplane architectures.
-
Dimensional Stability: Low Z-axis expansion prevents plated through-hole (PTH) failures in thick backplane environments.
-
Compliance Standards: Manufactured to IPC-A-600 Class 3 standards for high-reliability electronic hardware.
Applications
-
High-Speed Backplanes: Central routing hubs for telecommunications switchgear and cellular base stations.
-
Data Communications: High-density routers, servers, and storage area network (SAN) equipment.
-
Aerospace and Defence: Ruggedised computing platforms and radar processing units requiring thermal endurance.
-
Industrial Controls: Heavy-duty processing units exposed to continuous high-temperature environments.
