RA300 is a PTFE composite utilizing low coefficient of
expansion fiberglass as the supporting material and mixing
with a specially treated nanometer ceramic, which provides
both excellent dimensional stability and the highest degree of
phase stability, critical in multi-layer designs. RA300 is in a
“League of its Own” when it is combined with thin film
resistor-conductor materials such as Ohmega-Ply ® and TCR
® foils utilized for embedded resistors.
RA300 has “Best-in-Class” Insertion Loss (S21) and Loss
Tangent (0.0011). During Development, Relong focused not
only on reducing Loss Tangent, but also in reducing
Conductive Losses. As a result, RA300 Insertion Loss is
“Best-In-Class”.
The impact of copper foil roughness on conductor loss is due
to increase in transmission line resistance as a result of skin
effect. Relong’s RA300 was designed to provide a quality
peel strength without having to resort to the utilization of the
higher loss, rougher coppers prevalent in competitive products
to achieve acceptable copper adhesion.
RA300 has Low CTExyz and Very Low TCEr for
applications that require Electrical Phase Stability and
Dielectric Constant Stability well over a -40 to 150°C
Operating Temperature. RA300 has excellent performance
(dimensional stability, dielectric constant stability vs.
temperature and frequency, low absorption of moisture and
processing chemicals, ease of process ability), and has a price
competitive advantage.
Compared with other materials, RA300 has a higher thermal
conductivity, it increased heat conduction makes further
increases in power capacity.
Applications include Space and other Electronics who require
a higher degree of performance such as Phase Sensitive
Arrays for Radar, RF/Microwave Communications, Aircraft
Collision Avoidance Systems, JTRS, etc. RA300 is also a
preferred material for sensitive filter applications.
