Overview

EN 61189-2-719:2016 (CLC adoption of IEC 61189-2-719:2016) defines a standardized test method for measuring relative permittivity (εr) and loss tangent (tan δ) of printed board and assembly materials over the radio-frequency range 500 MHz to 10 GHz. The method is aimed at copper-clad laminate (CCL) specimens and produces material dielectric data used for RF/microwave design, material qualification and quality control.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Test scope: Relative permittivity expected to be determined in the range ~2 to 10; loss tangent in the range 0.001 to 0.050 at frequencies from 500 MHz to 10 GHz.
  • Specimen requirements:
    • Material: copper-clad laminate (CCL).
    • Minimum of four specimens per test.
    • Size: (200 ± 0.5) × (50 ± 1) mm.
    • Dielectric thickness: 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm (typically 0.8 mm).
    • Copper foil thickness: 0.010 mm to 0.040 mm.
  • Test set and fixture: Uses a two-board test set (Board A: conductive line on one side, copper foil on the other; Board B: copper foil on one side and no foil on the other). Conductive line width specified as 0.9 mm ± 0.2 mm. Detailed fixture drawings and an annex with example results are included.
  • Equipment & data handling: Measurements use RF instruments (vector network analyzer examples appear in the standard) with procedures for measurement, calculation and reporting of εr and tan δ. The standard includes guidance on accuracy, reporting and additional fixture information.

Practical applications

  • Material characterization for RF and microwave PCBs and interconnection structures.
  • Selection and qualification of dielectric materials for high-speed digital, telecom, wireless, aerospace, and automotive RF boards.
  • Supplier validation and incoming inspection of PCB laminates/Cu-clad laminates.
  • R&D and design simulation input (accurate εr and tan δ improve signal integrity, impedance control, and loss predictions).
  • Independent test laboratories performing standardized dielectric property testing for certification and customer specifications.

Who should use this standard

  • PCB material manufacturers and CCL suppliers.
  • PCB fabricators and contract manufacturers performing material acceptance tests.
  • RF/microwave engineers and signal-integrity teams needing reliable dielectric parameters.
  • Test houses and certification labs executing dielectric property measurements.

Related standards

  • Normative reference: IEC 60194 (Printed board design, manufacture and assembly – Terms and definitions).
  • Part of the IEC 61189 series on test methods for electrical materials, printed boards and interconnection structures.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Pu
