Apparently, the screenshot is invisible in my previous email. I have the following data: Grade: PLC-FR-370HR H/H(RTF) Thickness: 0.004 in Customer: SanminaSIN Test Property | Unit | Condition | Sampling | Test Results | Specs Dissipation factor | - | IPC-4101*A C-40/23/50 @1MHz | 1/month | Ave: 0.007 [0.007 - 0.007] | 0.035 Diectric constant | - | IPC-4101*A C-40/23/50 @1MHz | 1/month | Ave: 2.173 [2.173 - 2.173] | 0-5.4 Thank you. Best regards, Cyril ________________________________________________________ Hi, I have recently received a PCB (dielectric= Isola PLC-FR-370HR) and its certificate of compliance (extract below). The value of the material permittivity given below is quite surprising (2.173) to be FR4. Is it the effective permittivity for a microstrip? Is there a mistake in the certificate? Have you ever seen a FR4 permittivity like that ? Thank you for your help.
