In an era where high-frequency applications are becoming increasingly critical, the demand for reliable and innovative circuit board solutions has never been greater. Rogers RO4003C High Frequency PCB, a groundbreaking product designed to meet the rigorous demands of RF microwave circuits, matching networks, and controlled impedance transmission lines. This article delves into the features, benefits, applications, and significance of the RO4003C PCB, showcasing its potential to transform the landscape of high-frequency electronics.
Understanding RO4003C: A New Era of Circuit Board Materials
The RO4003C is crafted from proprietary woven glass reinforced
hydrocarbon/ceramics, presenting a unique blend of the electrical
performance characteristics of PTFE/woven glass with the
manufacturability of epoxy/glass. This innovative construction
results in a low-loss material that meets the needs of
high-frequency applications while maintaining cost-effectiveness in
circuit fabrication.
Key Features of RO4003C
Dielectric Performance: The RO4003C boasts a dielectric constant of
3.38 ± 0.05 at 10 GHz, which minimizes signal distortion and allows
for enhanced transmission quality. This is particularly
advantageous for applications where signal integrity is paramount.
Low Dissipation Factor: With a dissipation factor of 0.0027 at 10
GHz, the RO4003C ensures efficient signal propagation, making it
ideal for high-frequency environments where conventional circuit
board laminates fall short.
Thermal Stability: This PCB exhibits a thermal conductivity of 0.71
W/m/°K and a glass transition temperature (Tg) exceeding 280 °C.
Such characteristics enable the RO4003C to withstand high
operational temperatures without compromising performance.
Controlled Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE): The material
features a CTE matched to copper, with values of 11 ppm/°C (X-axis)
and 14 ppm/°C (Y-axis). This ensures minimal thermal stress on
components, enhancing reliability in hybrid designs.
Low Moisture Absorption: With a moisture absorption rate of only 0.06%, the RO4003C is resistant to environmental factors that can degrade performance over time.
