What's the Difference between 106 and 1067 Glass?

摘要

OCCASIONALLY MY COLUMN topics are tied to discussions that flow through my email inbox. I had one such inquiry last month from a super-savvy signal-integrity consultant that I believe is of interest to a wider audience. I was reading your DesignCon paper on fiber-weave effect. There was a table showing 1067 spread weave and non-spread weave … It was my understanding that they start with 106 to make 1067.I thought 1067 was 106 weave that was spread, and the 7 at the end distinguished it from 106. It has been my experience that 1067 is mechanically spread glass for different laminate suppliers. Some may spread in warp and weft, while others may speed in one direction only. If you say there are two versions of 1067, how do we avoid confusion?
