Rogers TMM10 Double-Sided PCB High-Dk Thermoset Microwave Circuit Board

Built to serve demanding microwave and precision RF projects, this custom double-sided rigid PCB uses Rogers TMM10 thermoset ceramic substrate. The material brings together advantages found in PTFE and ceramic dielectrics while overcoming mechanical limitations that plague many traditional high-frequency laminates. Measuring 63.9mm × 48mm with a tight ±0.15mm dimensional tolerance and a finished board thickness of 5.1mm, this board features ENIG surface finish with no solder mask or silkscreen applied to either side. It relies purely on through-hole construction and contains no blind vias, supporting fine 4/7 mil trace/space routing alongside 0.25mm microvias to accommodate compact, high-precision circuit layouts. Every finished unit undergoes full electrical testing before shipment, adheres to IPC-Class-2 specifications, and is available for custom orders and delivery across the globe.

PCB Specifications

This TMM10 double-sided PCB is precision manufactured for high-Dk microwave circuit designs. Its carefully defined structural parameters deliver robust mechanical integrity and consistent electrical performance. The straightforward through-hole architecture minimizes signal interference between layers, making it a solid choice for RF circuits requiring dependable signal transmission.

PCB Stack-up Structure

This PCB employs a symmetrical double-sided stack-up. At its core sits a thick 5.08mm (200mil) Rogers TMM10 core, with 35μm copper cladding laminated to both the top and bottom faces. The balanced build matches copper’s thermal expansion rate, which prevents circuit warping and signal drift triggered by temperature fluctuations, securing stable operation for high-frequency circuits over time.

PCB Statistic

Designed for precision microwave assembly and testing, this board hosts 26 components with thoughtfully arranged pads and vias to meet high-Dk circuit footprint constraints. All manufacturing files are exported as standard Gerber RS-274-X artwork. This universal format works seamlessly with most PCB fabrication and inspection equipment, supporting accurate prototyping and consistent volume production.

Introduction of Rogers TMM10 Material

TMM10 stands out as a premium thermoset microwave composite substrate. It captures the performance benefits of PTFE and ceramic dielectric materials without the mechanical drawbacks and complicated processing requirements typical of conventional high-frequency substrates. Available across a broad thickness range from 0.0015 to 0.500 inches with tight thickness tolerance, it offers flexible implementation across many high-frequency circuits and precision microwave applications.

Properties

Product Benefits

Unlike ordinary high-frequency substrates, TMM10 combines strong mechanical endurance and good process compatibility. It lowers manufacturing risks while preserving long-term circuit reliability:
