PRESENTATION FOR THE EVENING

Designing with Teflon
speaker, Dave Chapman, Protocircuits

Why Teflon: good dielectric constant control, 2.17 >10.8
                       low loss tangent, 
                       high signal speed.

Tips on designing with Teflon:
                       Don't use solder mask
                       If you do, use only where needed. Also, remember, solder mask sticks
                           better to Copper than to the Teflon. 
                       Add non-platted holes where ever possible to allow for moisture escape.
                      Long baking cycles required to remove moisture.
