FEATURES
Dielectric: High Stability 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.
Construction: Contact Sheldahl Customer Support for available
constructions.
Alternate Constructions: Custom constructions may be
ordered for high volume opportunities. Please contact Sheldahl Customer Support for
details.
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.
