Hello Everyone,

Today, we’re going to introduce high frequency PCB built on RO4003C laminates.

RO4003C is a woven glass cloth reinforced hydrocarbon resin ceramic-filled laminate from Rogers Corporation, which has very similar electrical properties to PTFE and its processability is similar to epoxy resin (glass cloth) material.

Now let’s see the 5 advantages of RO4003C laminates.

1. Enhanced high-frequency performance

RO4003C materials are hydrocarbon ceramic filled laminates that are exclusively designed to offer superior high-frequency performance, unlike PTFE.

2. Reduced dielectric loss

Low dielectric loss results in exceptional electrical performance and enables applications with high operating frequencies.

3. Consistent electrical properties across frequency

RO4003C material possesses consistent electrical properties across a broad range of frequencies, making it an ideal choice for RF microwave circuits, matching networks, and controlled impedance transmission lines.

4. Low thermal coefficient of dielectric constant

RO4003C exhibits excellent dimensional stability due to its low thermal coefficient of dielectric constant, which is essential for constructing mixed dielectric multi-layer PCBs and ensuring reliable plated through holes.

5. Cost-effectiveness

RO4003C laminates can be processed using automated handling systems and copper surface preparation scrubbing equipment without requiring specialized techniques. Its attributes make it a cost-effective option for mass production.

PCB Capability

Double sided circuit boards on RO4003C are available in a variety of thicknesses, such as 12mil, 16mil, 20mil, 32mil and 60mil. It's used in a variety of typical and non-traditional microwave / radio frequency applications, such as base station antennas, power amplifiers, RFID, radar and sensors etc.

The basic colour of RO4003C PCB is white.

Multilayer PCB

On various cores of the RO4003C, multilayer circuit boards are constructed. For instance, a 4-layer board on a 12-mil core and a 20-mil core of RO4003C, or a 4-layer PCB on two cores of 32mil RO4003C. The electrical length of the RF lines on the circuit board is greatly influenced by the fixed thickness of the core.

Hybrid PCB

In order to save production cost but not reduce signal loss in high frequency environment, mixed pressure production with FR-4 came into being. At present, the technology of mixed circuit board is mature and popular in the market.

We specialize in provide you with prototype, small batches and mass production service.
