Isola materials, such as the Astra MT77, offer an extremely low dissipation factor (Df) as low as 0.0017 and high dielectric constant stability, which are critical for minimizing signal loss in mm-Wave and high-frequency bands.
Unlike PTFE, Astra MT77 is compatible with standard FR-4 production technology and does not require plasma decontamination, significantly reducing production time and costs while maintaining similar electrical performance.
Selection depends on thickness and resin requirements: 1080 (0.08mm) offers the highest resin content at 64.5%, 2116 (0.12mm) is 54%, and 7628 (0.2mm) is 47%.
It is widely used in remote antennas, automotive radar, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision systems, blind spot detection, and lane departure warning systems.
Yes, Isola Astra MT77 and other high-performance Isola materials are fully compatible with lead-free components and RoHS standards.
Absolutely. Isola materials are specifically designed to be compatible with HDI (High Density Interconnect) technology, supporting the demand for smaller, more complex electronic assemblies.
