We take pride in conducting a 100% electrical test before shipment, guaranteeing the quality and reliability of your PCB. Our commitment to excellence shines through every step of the process.

Availability:
Worldwide Access

AD300D laminates are readily available worldwide, ensuring easy access and procurement for your projects. No matter where you are, rest assured that these high-performance materials are within reach.

While AD300D laminates offer many advantages, it is important to consider some potential disadvantages as well. Here are a few points to keep in mind:

• Cost: AD300D laminates may be more expensive compared to other standard materials. The advanced technology and superior performance of these laminates can lead to higher costs, which may impact the overall budget of a project.
• Processing Challenges: AD300D laminates can present processing challenges during fabrication and assembly due to their unique properties. The high filler content and glass reinforcement can make the material more abrasive, which may require special tooling or techniques during manufacturing.
• Limited Availability: While AD300D laminates are available worldwide, they may not be as readily accessible as more common materials. This limited availability could affect supply chain management and lead times for projects in certain regions.
• Design Limitations: AD300D laminates have specific design limitations that need to be considered. The maximum operating temperature of 260°C may not be suitable for applications that require resistance to extreme heat. Additionally, the maximum thickness of the laminate is limited, which may impact designs that require thicker substrates.
• Environmental Concerns: The use of PTFE-based materials, including AD300D laminates, raises environmental concerns due to the presence of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in the manufacturing process. PFOA is a persistent organic pollutant that is regulated or banned in some regions due to its potential environmental and health risks.

These potential disadvantages should be carefully evaluated in relation to the specific requirements and constraints of a project. It is important to weigh the benefits against any limitations to ensure that AD300D laminates are the right choice for your application.
