RAYMING PCB & ASSEMBLY

you well know, printed circuit boards are vital for all electronic

devices. Arlon PCB, a prime example of high performance and quality

printed circuit board, becomes ideal for your electronic needs, especially if

you have unique application areas that need superior PCB capabilities. It,

however, becomes crucial to trust an ideal PCB manufacturing and

assembly partner in RayMing PCB and Assembly to ensure quality Arlon

PCBs for your use. But before you engage us or any other Arlon

manufacturing company, let us first understand what an Arlon printed

circuit board means.

Arlon Printed Circuit Board

You can always bank the idea of circuit boards and electronics devoid of

the appropriate fabrication materials as wishful thinking. Circuit

board materials represent a fundamental aspect of the design, production,

and performance of PCBs. It is with this background that this article will

approach the entire subject of Arlon PCB.

So what is Arlon PCB? It implies a circuit board manufactured with

materials from Arlon LLC. The company contains a division specializing in

materials for electronics (MED) that features high-performance Prepreg

and laminate materials. Such materials are deployed in diverse application

areas that demand specialized mechanical, thermal, electrical, and other

vital attributes that surpass traditional FR-4 resources and materials.

Arlon PCB Materials

What sets Arlon apart from other materials is the unique chemical

composition that makes it such a reliable and versatile material for

industrial use. Arlon’s versatility is attributable to the unique properties

which make it suitable for a number of different purposes, such as

manufacturing, design, construction and testing. It has peculiarities in its

chemical composition which make it ideal for addressing all these needs.

As alluded to, Arlon PCBs have become a reality with quality Arlon PCB

materials. Arlon electronic materials comprise substrates, conductive

layers, etc. However, all Arlon electronic substrates or Arlon laminates

possess distinct features, courtesy of the thermal resin technology

deployed in their manufacture. It is a technology that incorporates high

glass transition multifunctional epoxy, low loss thermoset, and polyimide

Prepreg and laminate systems. Such resin systems become available on

diverse substrates encompassing non-woven aramid and woven glass.

PCB Manufacturing & Assembly Services https://www.raypcb.com/


RAYMING PCB & ASSEMBLY

The conducting layer, mostly copper, always remains the same as other

FR-4 based printed circuit boards, though it comes a little thicker. However,

the Arlon microwave material focuses on fluoropolymers filled with

ceramic and hydrocarbon thermoset laminates with low-loss ceramic. It is

a pool of materials that guarantees the required electrical performance in

the frequency-dependent printed circuit board applications like

communication systems, phased-array radars, base station antennas,

power amplifier boards, and other areas/applications that rely on

the antenna.

Features of Arlon PCB Materials

Arlon printed circuit materials have diverse properties owing to the

different types of materials falling under its classes of Arlon Polyimide

products, low flow products, epoxy products, and SMT or controlled

thermal expansion product material classes. However, before tackling

some product-specific attributes, it becomes important to acknowledge

that all Arlon products have common features. Such attributes include the

following.

 High glass transition temperature. All Arlon printed circuit board

materials, whether Arlon laminate, Arlon fabric, or other integrated

circuit materials, possess a high glass transition temperature

attribute. To better understand this, remember that glass transition

PCB Manufacturing & Assembly Services https://www.raypcb.com/


RAYMING PCB & ASSEMBLY

implies the steady and reversible change of an amorphous

substance from its tough and brittle glassy state to a rubbery or

viscous state when subjected to a temperature increase.

 Low loss dielectric thermoset. All Arlon PCB materials have a low

loss thermoset, which means they cannot heat up quickly when

operating in high RF situations. An excellent of such material

includes polyimide, silicone, or PTFE, among other material types.

 Polyimide. In this case, it comes as an Arlon polymer, comprising of

imide monomers under the high-performance category of plastics.

Such a high heat resistance property allows the material to get

deployed in diverse applications that need rugged organic

constituents. Because of this, it gets deployed in the

high-temperature display, fuel cells, military applications, etc.

However, each category of Arlon materials has specific material products,

with each possessing specific features. Therefore, if you want to design an

Arlon printed circuit board, you cannot escape the significance of

understanding these specific Arlon materials and their corresponding

attributes to ensure quality and functional Arlon PCB.

Designing an Arlon Printed Circuit Board

The design process of an Arlon PCB follows a similar one as other

standard printed circuit boards. However, it becomes crucial to substitute

the materials with the ones from Arlon, as the functionality, stack-up

method, and schematic layout may remain similar. It is also crucial to

enlist the help of current circuit board design software to ensure the

design has the necessary details, proves executable, and will function once

the prototype comes out.

Manufacturing of Arlon PCB

The manufacturing process of an Arlon PCB follows a similar process to

that of other standard PCBs. It includes a design, prototyping,

and high-volume production of the printed circuit board. However, the

materials in your design have to get sourced from Arlon LLC. So it

becomes important to detail this in your BOM before submitting it to

the contract manufacturer.

FAQ Guide to Arlon Printed Circuit Boards

PCB Manufacturing & Assembly Services https://www.raypcb.com/


RAYMING PCB & ASSEMBLY

Picking suitable printed circuit board materials for the manufacture of

your circuit boards can prove difficult. However, this frequently asked

question guide will help you settle on the correct Arlon materials for your

high-performance PCB needs.

 How does the Arlon PCB material compare to its equivalents in the

circuit board industry?

PCBs rely on diverse materials for their fabrications. Materials can come

as Rogers, Nelco, Taconic, Isola, or Arlon materials.

manufacture high-frequency printed circuit boards, Arlon materials

prove mainly PTFT reinforced fiberglass while Rogers materials

feature woven glass reinforced ceramics or hydrocarbons.

 Arlon vs. Nelco PCB materials. Both materials deploy a polyimide

resin complete with a TG value of around 260 degrees Celsius.

Additionally, both materials can get deployed in PCBs targeted

at high-speed applications. However, most Arlon materials are light,

as aspects such as physical properties and thermal management

prove similar.

 Arlon vs. Taconic PCB material. Both of the materials depend on

PTFT strengthened with other different types of materials.
