FEATURES
Dielectric: Stabilized PET film.
Adhesive: Modified polyester epoxy.
Available Coppers: Rolled-Annealed (RA), Electro-Deposited
High-Ductility (EDHD) or As-Rolled Untreated (ARNT). EDHD foils are suited
for general use and flex to install applications. RA foils are suitable for dynamic
flexing applications. ARNT foils are valuable for high frequency applications that require
a smooth copper surface on both sides.
Constructions: Contact Sheldahl Customer Support for available
constructions. Custom constructions may be ordered for high volume opportunities.
Processing: High quality flexible circuits can be produced using
standard manufacturing procedures.
Preferred Storage: Material should be stored in dry, ambient
temperature. Excessive exposure to heat and moisture may cause copper oxidation.
Shelf Life: Typical expected shelf life is 12 months when stored
as recommended.
