The Rogers RO4003C PCB is an innovative solution that combines the superior electrical performance of PTFE/woven glass with the manufacturability of epoxy/glass. This versatile laminate is designed for applications requiring exceptional reliability, making it a game-changer in the RF and microwave sectors.
Key Features of Rogers RO4003C
Superior Electrical Performance
One of the standout features of the Rogers RO4003C is its dielectric constant (Dk), which is measured at 3.38 ± 0.05 at 10 GHz. This tight control over the dielectric constant is crucial for maintaining signal integrity in high-frequency applications. Alongside this, the PCB boasts a dissipation factor of 0.0027 at 10 GHz, ensuring minimal signal loss and optimal performance.
Thermal Stability
The RO4003C excels in thermal performance, with a thermal decomposition temperature (Tg) exceeding 280°C (536°F). This stability allows the material to maintain its properties over a wide range of processing temperatures, making it ideal for demanding environments. The thermal coefficient of the dielectric constant of +40 ppm/°C indicates that the material can maintain its electrical performance even under thermal stress.
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE)
One of the critical advantages of the Rogers RO4003C is its CTE, which is closely aligned with that of copper. This similarity allows for excellent dimensional stability, particularly important in multilayer boards that incorporate mixed dielectric materials. The low Z-axis CTE of 46 ppm/°C ensures reliable plated through-hole quality, even under severe thermal conditions.
Moisture Resistance
With a low moisture absorption rate of 0.06%, the Rogers RO4003C is designed to perform well in various environmental conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for applications in humid or variable temperature settings, providing engineers with peace of mind regarding the durability and reliability of their designs.
