What circuit boards do we do? (30) RF-60TC High Frequency PCB

Introduction

RF-60TC is a PTFE-based, ceramic-filled fiberglass substrate specifically designed for high-power RF and microwave applications. This material is engineered to operate at lower temperatures in high-power settings while delivering improved gains and efficiencies in miniaturized antenna applications within the 6.15 DK market. This advanced properties results from the enhanced dielectric heat dissipation and exceptionally low dielectric losses.

Features

Let's explore the exceptional features of RF-60TC:

Firstly, it boasts impressive thermal conductivity values: 0.9 W/m·K for unclad materials, 1.00 W/m·K for 0.5oz, and 1.05 W/m·K for 1oz material. These values enhance design flexibility, extend component lifespan, and ensure long-term reliability.

With a dielectric constant of 6.15 ± 0.15 at 10 GHz, RF-60TC aids in device miniaturization, optimizing space efficiency.

At 10 GHz, the dissipation factor stands at 0.002 according to IPC-650 2.5.5.5.1, ensuring efficient signal transmission.

RF-60TC exhibits a CTE value of X at 9.9, Y at 9.9, and Z at 40 ppm/°C. Its low CTE and enhanced dimensional stability enable the construction of high layer count multilayer PCBs with improved plated through hole reliability.

The material's moisture absorption rate is a minimal 0.03%, meeting IPC-650 2.6.2.1 standards for environmental stability.

Lastly, RF-60TC complies with the UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, ensuring high safety standards.
