Let's delve into the remarkable features and characteristics that make the RT duroid 6006 a game-changer in the industry.

One of the standout features of the RT duroid 6006 is its impressive dielectric constant (ε). With a process-controlled value of 6.15 ± 0.15 at 10 GHz/23°C, this substrate enables circuit size reduction without compromising performance. For more demanding applications in the 8 GHz to 40 GHz range, the ε design value of 6.45 ensures consistent performance using the Differential Phase Length Method.

In addition to its exceptional dielectric properties, the RT duroid 6006 boasts an incredibly low dissipation factor (tanδ) of 0.0027 at 10 GHz/A, ensuring minimal signal loss and high signal integrity. This characteristic makes it an ideal choice for operating at X-band frequencies or below. The substrate's thermal coefficient of ε, with a value of -410 ppm/°C from -50°C to 170°C, guarantees stability and reliable performance across a wide temperature range.

When it comes to mechanical properties, the RT duroid 6006 demonstrates exceptional performance. With a Young's modulus of 627 MPa (91 kpsi) in the X-axis and 517 MPa (75 kpsi) in the Y-axis, this substrate delivers outstanding stiffness and rigidity. Its ultimate stress values of 20 MPa (2.8 kpsi) in the X-axis and 17 MPa (2.5 kpsi) in the Y-axis ensure the substrate can withstand demanding conditions. Furthermore, the substrate exhibits ultimate strain values of 12% to 13% in the X-axis and 4% to 6% in the Y-axis, making it resistant to deformation under load.

The RT duroid 6006 also excels in compressive properties, with a Young's modulus of 1069 MPa (115 kpsi) in the Z-axis and an ultimate stress of 54 MPa (7.9 kpsi). This exceptional compressive strength guarantees the substrate's reliability under heavy loads. Additionally, its flexural modulus values of 2634 MPa (382 kpsi) in the X-axis and 1951 MPa (283 kpsi) in the Y-axis, coupled with an ultimate stress of 38 MPa (5.5 kpsi), make it ideal for applications with demanding bending requirements.

With a moisture absorption rate of only 0.05%, the RT duroid 6006 maintains its electrical and mechanical properties even in humid environments. Its thermal conductivity of 0.49 W/m/k at 80°C ensures efficient heat dissipation, making it suitable for applications with high thermal loads. The substrate's coefficient of thermal expansion values of 47 ppm/°C (X-axis), 34 ppm/°C (Y-axis), and 117 ppm/°C (Z-axis) guarantees dimensional stability and compatibility with other components.
