0.3mm RT Duroid 5880 PCB Blog Immersion Gold IPC Class 2 Standard

Introducing our newly shipped PCB. This high-quality product is designed to meet the demands of various applications, offering exceptional performance and reliability.

The PCB substrates are constructed using Rogers RT/duroid 5880, a glass microfiber reinforced PTFE composite material. With a process DK of 2.2 +/- 0.02 at 10 GHz/23°C, it ensures excellent electrical performance. The low dissipation factor of 0.0009 at the same frequency and temperature minimizes electrical loss. The material exhibits a high decomposition temperature (Td) exceeding 500°C, providing stability even in high-temperature environments. Additionally, its moisture absorption rate of 0.02% enables reliable performance in high-moisture conditions. The isotropic properties of the material ensure uniform electrical characteristics. The PCB operates within a temperature range of -40℃ to +85℃.

Our PCB offers several benefits. It boasts the lowest electrical loss compared to other reinforced PTFE materials. It can be easily cut, shaped, and machined to meet specific requirements. The material is resistant to solvents and reagents used in etching or plating edges and holes, ensuring durability and longevity. It is ideal for applications in high-moisture environments. Furthermore, this material has a well-established track record of reliability. It maintains uniform electrical properties over a wide frequency range.

The stackup of this PCB consists of a 2-layer rigid construction. It features a copper_layer_1 with a thickness of 35 μm followed by a Rogers Core RT/duroid 5880 with a thickness of 0.254 mm (10 mil), and finally, a copper_layer_2 with a thickness of 35 μm.

The construction details of the PCB are as follows: The board dimensions are 139.61mm x 37.96 mm (1PCS), with a tolerance of +/- 0.15mm. It has a minimum trace/space of 5/4 mils and a minimum hole size of 0.2mm. The PCB does not have any blind vias, simplifying the manufacturing process. The finished board thickness is 0.3mm, striking a balance between durability and lightweight design. The outer layers have a finished copper weight of 1oz (1.4 mils). The via plating thickness measures 20 μm, ensuring robust connections. The surface finish is Immersion Gold, providing excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The PCB does not have top or bottom silkscreen or solder mask layers. Prior to shipment, each PCB undergoes a comprehensive 100% electrical test to ensure its reliability and adherence to quality standards.

The PCB statistics demonstrate its versatility. It accommodates a total of 9 components and 16 pads, with 16 top surface mount technology (SMT) pads and no thru-hole pads or bottom SMT pads. There are no vias, and it features a single net. The artwork is supplied in Gerber RS-274-X format, compatible with standard manufacturing processes.

Our PCB complies with the IPC-Class-2 standard, ensuring consistent performance and durability. It is available worldwide, offering global accessibility to customers. Its exceptional performance makes it suitable for various applications, including commercial airline broadband antennas, microstrip and stripline circuits, millimeter wave applications, radar systems, guidance systems, and point-to-point digital radio antennas.
