Many different PCB-laminates can be used. Below is a list with links to data sheets for the most commonly used types.  For further information, follow the curated links to pcb laminate manufacturers. See the section on prepreg properties, prepreg weaves, standard base laminate copper thicknesses, and properties for laminates with lower  Dk of approx. 3.5.

  • Dk= Dielectric Constant          
  • DF= Dissipation Factor        
  • CTE= Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
  • Tg= Glass Transition Temperature         
  • Td= Decomposition Temperature
  • WA= Water Absorption
