- Dielectric Constant: 3.38 ± 0.05 at 10 GHz
- Dissipation Factor: 0.0027 at 10 GHz
- Thermal Conductivity: 0.71 W/m/°K
- Thermal Coefficient of Dielectric Constant: +40 ppm/°C, operating between -50°C to 150°C
- CTE Matched to Copper: X-axis at 11 ppm/°C, Y-axis at 14 ppm/°C
- Low Z-axis Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 46 ppm/°C
- Tg: >280 °C
- Low Moisture Absorption: 0.06%
