ThunderClad 4HZ

Extreme Low Loss and High Thermal Reliability Laminate and Prepreg
Core: TU-943HZ; Prepreg: TU-943P HZ

TU-943HZ is an advanced material designed for high speed computing, telecommunications, radio frequency super low loss filed applications. TU-943HZ electrical performance is competitive with PTFE-based, hydrocarbon-based very low loss materials, but capable for high layer count circuit board design with excellent thermal reliability.
TU-943HZ laminates also exhibit excellent moisture resistance, improved CTE, superior chemical resistance, thermal stability, CAF resistance, and also compatible with modified FR-4 processes.
