60.7mil RO4003C LoPro PCB 2-layer Immersion Gold Circuit Board

Introducing our newly shipped PCB based on RO4003C Low Profile. It's a high-performance laminate designed to deliver exceptional signal integrity and low insertion loss while offering cost-effective circuit fabrication. Utilizing Rogers' proprietary technology, the RO4003C LoPro laminates combine reverse treated foil bonding with the standard RO4003C dielectric, resulting in a laminate with low conductor loss and improved insertion loss. This unique technology maintains all the desirable attributes of the standard RO4003C laminate system. The hydrocarbon ceramic laminates of RO4003C are specifically engineered for superior high-frequency performance and compatibility with standard epoxy/glass (FR-4) processes, eliminating the need for specialized via preparation methods like sodium etch, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

With a dielectric constant of 3.38+/- 0.05 at 10 GHz/23°C and a dissipation factor of 0.0027 at 10 GHz/23°C, the RO4003C Low Profile PCB ensures accurate and reliable signal transmission. It exhibits excellent thermal properties with a Td> 425°C and a high Tg exceeding 280 °C TMA. The laminate boasts a high thermal conductivity of 0.64 W/mK, efficiently dissipating heat. Its Z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion is low at 46 ppm/°C, while the copper-matched coefficient of thermal expansion ranges from -55 to 288 °C with 11 ppm/°C for the X axis and 14 ppm/°C for the Y axis. Additionally, the PCB is lead-free process compatible, aligning with environmental concerns.

The RO4003C Low Profile PCB brings numerous benefits to your designs. Its lower insertion loss allows for higher operating frequency designs, even surpassing 40 GHz. It reduces passive inter-modulation (PIM) for base station antennas, ensuring optimal performance. The lower conductor loss contributes to improved thermal performance. With its multilayer PCB capability and design flexibility, it accommodates complex circuitry requirements. The PCB can withstand high-temperature processing and is resistant to CAF (Conductive Anodic Filament) formation, ensuring long-term reliability.
