10mil RO3010 Double Sided Printed Circuit Boards With Immersion Gold

Today, we are happy to share our newly shipped PCB based on RO3010 materials.

1. RO3010 Introduction:
Rogers RO3010 laminates are advanced circuit materials that utilize ceramic-filled PTFE composites. These laminates offer a higher dielectric constant with excellent stability. They are competitively priced products known for their exceptional mechanical and electrical stability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications across various frequencies. RO3010 laminates simplify the design of broadband components and are particularly well-suited for circuit miniaturization.

2. Features:
RO3010 laminates are composed of ceramic-filled PTFE composites. They exhibit a dielectric constant of 10.2 +/- 0.30 at 10 GHz and 23°C, along with a low dissipation factor of 0.0022 at the same frequency and temperature. With a low coefficient of thermal expansion ranging from 13 ppm/°C to 16 ppm/°C (-55 to 288 °C) in the X, Y, and Z axes, RO3010 laminates demonstrate excellent dimensional stability. They have a high thermal decomposition temperature exceeding 500°C and a thermal conductivity of 0.95 W/mK. RO3010 laminates also boast a low moisture absorption rate of 0.05% and can operate in the temperature range of -40℃ to +85℃.

3. Benefits:
One of the notable benefits of RO3010 laminates is their dimensional stability, with the expansion coefficient matched to that of copper. This characteristic enhances the reliability and performance of the laminates. Additionally, RO3010 laminates are cost-effective, thanks to their economical laminate pricing resulting from a volume manufacturing process. They are also suitable for use in multi-layer board designs, providing flexibility in various applications.
