RO4003C RF PCB Board

Today's PCB sharing is a via filled by resin and capped PCB. Made from RO4003C hydrocarbon ceramic laminates, this PCB is ideal for use in a variety of applications. With a lead-free process and -40℃ to +85℃ temperature range, this PCB is environmentally friendly and can operate in extreme temperatures.

 

The PCB measures 136mm x 96mm, with a finished board thickness of 0.6mm and finished copper weight of 1.5 oz (2.1 mils) all layers. It features 96 components and 128 total pads, including 54 thru-hole pads, 72 top SMT pads, and 0 bottom SMT pads. With a minimum trace/space

of 4/4 mils and minimum hole size of 0.2mm, this PCB provides high-density interconnectivity.

 

The PCB is constructed using electroless nickle immersion gold (ENIG) surface finish for improved solderability and corrosion resistance. It also features a green top and bottom solder mask, with no silkscreen on the solder pads. The slotted holes defined as per Gerber are plated through, with side-by-side holes defining the dimensions of the slots.

 

The PCB meets IPC-Class-2 standards and has been 100% electrically tested to ensure reliability. It also features 0.2mm and 0.5mm via filled by resin and capped as per IPC-4761 Type VII. With worldwide service area, this PCB is perfect for a wide range of applications.
