DUEREN, GERMANY – Isola Group said its six-member IS680 copper-clad laminate family is now in production at its facility here.

Expanding the production of this material to the firm’s Germany manufacturing facility will help European PCB manufacturers shorten time-to-market and meet the demands of quick-turn programs, Isola says.

The IS680 family is for single- and double-sided printed circuit board designs. Applications include low noise block downconverters used for satellite TV and communications, power amplifiers, traffic sensors, RFID, collision warning systems, base stations, satellite telephones and WiMAX antennas.
