Low dielectric material is used for the insulating layer, and low-roughness foil is used for the conductor, and it is possible to manufacture FPC suitable for high-speed transmission. Since it is a stripline structure with countermeasure for shielding, the role as an alternative to a coaxial cable may be expected. By using LCP for insulation and the adhesive layer, changes in the transmission loss by moisture absorption can be controlled. By using 100 m-thick LCP as the base material, it becomes possible to set a wide range of characteristic diagram of layers and the result of TDR measurementTechnology friendly to people and the earthComparison and evaluation of the transmission loss in the normal state and after moisture absorption [ ]Time [ns]TDR[ m]15 Copper plating18 Copper foil50 LCP18 Copper foil18 Copper foil15 Copper platingGNDGND100 LCP100 LCPRF line-60-50-40-30-20-10001000200030004000 50006000S11 [dB/100mm]Frequency [MHz]S11 (reflection) measurement resultNormal stateAfter moisture [dB/100mm]Frequency [MHz]S21 (loss) measurement resultNormal stateAfter moisture absorptionTransmitter of FPC[Contact for inquiries about this document] yamashita Materials CorporationCircuitec CompanySales Department[TEL] : 046-251-3722[FAX] : 046-251-3725 [HP] : [E-mail].

5 Of the product Since LCP, which has a lower dielectric property than polyimide, also has a low dielectric dissipation factor, signals hardly damp even in a long circuit, and it is possible to transfer signals precisely. All LCP substrates also have excellent long-term heat resistance and comply with MOT of UL Standards (796F).Test method: Check the state after a 240-hour degradation test at 230 Cby winding around a pin gage whose diameter is 5 testing the all LCPC racks in the adhesive after testing the polyimide FPCE xamples of product layer configuration[Contact for inquiries about this document] yamashita Materials CorporationCircuitec CompanySales Department[TEL] : 046-251-3722[FAX] : 046-251-3725 [HP] : [E-mail] : friendly to people and the earthPictures of the productLCPgeneral characteristicsTest itemProcessing conditionsLCP50 m, Cu18 UnitRelative dielectric constant2GH 10GH dissipation factor2GH 10GH absorptionImmersion at 25 Cfor stabilityAfter etchingMDdirectionAfter 50 LCP L1 33L1 + 50L1 LCP 40 50L2 LCP 180 18L2 50 LCP 18L3 50L3 LCP 50L4 LCP 33L4 + 50L4 LCP 402L1liquid resistL1copper foil+copper platingL1paceLCPL2 LCPcover layL2copper foilBaseLCPL3copper foilL3 LCPcover layL4baseLCPL4copper foil+copper platingL4 LCPcover layUnit ( m)LCPcover layAdhesiveReinforcing sheetL4 LCPcover layFeatures of the product This is an FPC which incorporates a noise controlling film "SPINPEDA " manufactured by Shin-Etsu Polymer Co.
