China I-Tera® MT40 PCB Manufacturing – High-Speed & Low Loss
Highleap Electronics offers fast-turn I-Tera® MT40 PCB fabrication and assembly. We build certified, low loss, high-speed multilayer boards with global delivery from China.
I-Tera® MT40 PCB Laminate – High-Performance for High-Speed Digital and RF Applications
At Highleap Electronics, we manufacture high-speed and high-frequency PCBs using authentic I-Tera® MT40 laminate from Isola. This advanced, low loss PCB material is engineered for high-speed PCB substrates where signal integrity, thermal stability, and low dielectric loss are critical — making it ideal for 100G/400G networking, data center backplanes, PCIe 5.0, and RF systems.
With a stable dielectric constant (Dk ≈ 3.45) and ultra-low dissipation factor (Df ≈ 0.0031), I-Tera MT40 is considered a reliable alternative to PTFE PCB materials, offering better manufacturability and compatibility with standard FR-4 processes. It supports lead-free assembly, multiple reflows, and CAF-resistant multilayer construction — all of which contribute to cost-effective, production-ready performance.
- Ultra-low Df @ 2/5/10 GHz: 0.0031
- High thermal stability: Tg 200°C / Td 360°C
- RoHS compliant, CAF-resistant, and halogen-free
- Optimized for HDI, multilayer, and controlled impedance designs
Whether you are reviewing the I-Tera MT40 datasheet for stackup planning, or searching for a reliable I-Tera PCB China supplier to handle your project, Highleap Electronics provides turnkey PCB fabrication and assembly services tailored to the needs of high-speed system designers. Our experience with low loss laminates ensures your designs are built with precision, quality, and fast turnaround times.
