LIGHT-WEIGHT 5G MACRO CELLS AND INTEGRATED ANTENNA FILTER UNITS USING SABIC'S ULTEM™ 3473 RESIN
ULTEM 3473 resin is 40% lighter than aluminum and a potential alternative for these RF filters thanks to its low CTE, Surface Mount Technology (SMT) process compatibility and excellent surface metallization performance.
INTEGRATED ANTENNA FILTER UNITS
ULTEM 3473 resin can also support the design of new integrated antenna filter units (AFCJs), which cannot be achieved with metal. Using injection molding, the dipole antenna matrix and RF cavity filter body can be produced as one component. This approach simplifies production and may lead to cost reductions and additional weight savings.
ULTEM 3473 RESIN IS COMPATIBLE WITH SMT TECHNOLOGY
Thanks to improved Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT), ULTEM 3473 resin can withstand the 260 degree C peak temperatures in solder mount assembly.
POTENTIAL FOR METAL REPLACEMENT USING ULTEMTM RESIN
ULTEM resins have excellent surface metallization performance and are compatible with mainstream plating processes. An excellent candidate for 5G networking components, ULTEM resins can also be considered for use in other industries where metal replacement is desired. CJLTEM resins can be used in metalization processes like electroless plating, electro-plating and physical vapor deposition (PVD).
To address varying product and processing requirements, multiple CJLTEM resin grades are available in the portfolio and can be considered for metal replacement. Each of these grades show an excellent adhesion to metal, low surface roughness and great resistance to blistering and delamination after exposure to thermal shocks and long periods of humidity.
SABIC ISCC+ CERTIFIED RENEWABLE ULTEM RESIN SOLUTIONS
A new portfolio of bio-based CJLTEM resins that delivers a lower carbon footprint while offering the same high performance and processability as incumbent ULTEM materials is now available.
