Introduction

RO3206 high frequency circuit materials are laminates that contain ceramic fillers and are reinforced with woven fiberglass. These materials have been specifically engineered to provide exceptional electrical performance and mechanical stability while maintaining competitive pricing. They are an extension of the RO3000 series high frequency circuit materials, with the notable improvement of enhanced mechanical stability.

With a dielectric constant of 6.15 and a low dissipation factor of 0.0027, RO3206 high frequency circuit materials offer an extended useful frequency range beyond 40 GHz. This makes them suitable for applications requiring high-frequency performance.

The RO3206 laminates combine the advantages of a non-woven PTFE laminate, such as surface smoothness for finer line etching tolerances, with the rigidity provided by a woven-glass PTFE laminate. These materials can be easily fabricated into printed circuit boards using standard PTFE circuit board processing techniques.

To ensure consistent quality, RO3206 laminates are manufactured under an ISO 9002 certified quality system. This certification guarantees that the materials meet stringent quality standards and adhere to established manufacturing practices.
