Introduction
Rogers’ TC600 is a PTFE-based composite reinforced with woven fiberglass and ceramic fillers, specifically designed as a substrate for printed circuit boards. It offers superior heat transfer due to its "Best-In-Class" thermal conductivity, while minimizing dielectric and insertion losses. These reduced losses contribute to enhanced efficiency and performance in amplifiers and antennas.
The enhanced thermal conductivity allows for greater power handling, minimizes hot spots, and boosts device reliability. This improved heat transfer within the substrate complements designs using coins, heat sinks or thermal vias, giving designers additional design margin in heat management.
Features
Let's delve into the exceptional properties of the TC600.
To begin, it boasts a high dielectric constant (DK) of 6.15, facilitating circuit size reduction. Additionally, it showcases an impressively low dissipation factor of 0.002 at 10 GHz, effectively minimizing signal loss.
Furthermore, the TC600 exhibits high thermal conductivity of 1.1W/mK on the Z-axis and 1.4W/mK on the X and Y axes, ensuring optimal heat management and reliability in challenging environments.
With a TCDk value of -75 ppm/°C, the TC600 maintains a stable dielectric constant over a wide temperature range of -40-150°C at 10 GHz. This stability helps the designers of power amplifier and antennas to maximize gain and minimize bandwidth loss due to dielectric constant fluctuations with temperature variations.
Moreover, the TC600 laminate offers a low Z-Direction Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of 35 ppm/°C, guaranteeing unparalleled reliability for plated through holes.
