How to Choose PTFE Materials (Arlon, Rogers, Taconic, Ultralam)
When choosing PTFE materials, it is important to consider their dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df). If your application involves high-frequency or high-precision electronic devices, lower Dk and Df values can help reduce signal loss and improve performance. To choose the right PTFE material for your needs, you can refer to its Dk and Df indicators to ensure that the material meets the electrical performance requirements.
Generally speaking, the dielectric constant (Dk) of PTFE materials is usually between 2.0 and 2.1, and the dissipation factor (Df) is usually very low, about 0.0002 to 0.0004. These characteristics make it perform well in high-frequency applications.
The following are PTFE materials and their dielectric constants (Dk) and dissipation factors (Df).

Arlon/Rogers DiClad® 870 and 880 are both high-performance, high-frequency circuit board materials, but there are some key differences:
1. Dielectric constant (Dk): DiClad® 870 generally has a lower dielectric constant and is suitable for applications that require higher signal propagation speeds; DiClad® 880 has a slightly higher dielectric constant and is suitable for applications that require higher stability.
2. Dielectric loss (Df): DiClad® 880 generally has lower dielectric loss, which means less signal attenuation and is suitable for high-frequency and high-speed applications.
3. Thermal stability: DiClad® 880 performs well in high-temperature environments and provides better thermal stability, while DiClad® 870 also performs well at high temperatures, but may be slightly inferior to DiClad® 880.
4. Application areas: DiClad® 870 is more commonly used in RF and microwave applications; DiClad® 880 is more suitable for high-frequency applications that require extremely high signal integrity and low loss.
The material selected depends on specific application needs, such as frequency range, signal integrity, and thermal stability requirements.
