The Arlon PCB DiClad 522 PCB is a high-performance, 2-layer microwave circuit board designed to deliver precise signal integrity in high-frequency RF environments. Featuring a tightly controlled dielectric constant (DK) of 2.60, this substrate utilizes a woven fiberglass and PTFE composite structure. This composition ensures excellent dimensional stability and low dissipation factors, making it an essential component for hardware developers and procurement managers who require predictable electrical performance under shifting thermal conditions.
-
Dielectric Constant (DK): 2.60 (±0.04 tolerances for ultra-consistent RF performance)
-
Dissipation Factor (DF): Low loss tangent of 0.0022 at 10 GHz, minimizing signal attenuation
-
Layer Count: 2-layer rigid construction optimized for microstrip and stripline designs
-
Moisture Absorption: Less than 0.02%, ensuring electrical stability in humid operating environments
-
Thermal Conductivity: Enhanced heat dissipation for power amplifiers and active RF components
-
Compliance: IPC-6012 Class 2/3 compliant fabrication options available
