CHANDLER, AZ – Isola's laminate materials recently passed Class 2 testing for conductive anodic filament (CAF) resistance standards with flying colors.

Isola's materials exceeded the 1000-hr. testing protocol with no evidence of any electrical issues or CAF failures, the firm added.

Isola collaborated to develop electronics for electro mobility applications using high-temperature resin system printed circuit boards and developed CAF-resistant laminate materials. The successful completion of Class 2 of CAF testing for Bosch is promising for future applications for electric vehicles, the firm says.

Electrochemical migration testing was performed at 85°C and 85% relative humidity using a 100V bias. The test vehicle samples were produced at Schweizer Electronic and incorporated 120 vias at a 0.65mm hole-to-hole pitch using two different resin systems in a six-layer stack-up with glass styles of 106, 1080, 2116 and 7628.

The laminate materials were constructed with glass fabric woven at Isola Fabrics, a subsidiary of Isola.
