ThunderClad 200G

Very Low Loss and High Thermal Reliability Laminate and Prepreg
Core: TU-885; Prepreg: TU-885P

ThunderClad 200G ( TU-885 ) is a very low loss category material based on a high performance modified FR-4 resin. This material is reinforced with regular woven E-glass and designed with very low dielectric constant and dissipation factor resin system for high speed low loss, radio frequency and wireless applications. ThunderClad 200G material is suitable for environmental protection lead free process and also compatible with FR-4 processes. ThunderClad 200G laminates also exhibit excellent moisture resistance, improved CTE, superior chemical resistance, thermal stability and CAF resistance.
