RT/duroid 6002 – High Frequency Laminates

RT/duroid 6002 microwave material was the first low-loss, low-dielectric-constant laminate to offer the superior electrical and mechanical properties essential for designing complex microwave structures that are both mechanically reliable and electrically stable.

The material features an extremely low thermal coefficient of dielectric constant from -55°C to +150°C (-67°F to 302°F), providing designers of filters, oscillators, and delay lines with the electrical stability required in today's demanding applications.

A low Z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) ensures excellent plated through-hole reliability. RT/duroid 6002 materials have been successfully temperature cycled from -55°C to 125°C (-67°F to 257°F) for over 5,000 cycles without a single via failure.

Excellent dimensional stability (0.2 to 0.5 mils/inch) is achieved by matching the X and Y axis coefficients of expansion to that of copper. This often eliminates the need for double etching to achieve tight positional tolerances.

The low tensile modulus in the X and Y axes greatly reduces stress applied to solder joints and allows the laminate's expansion to be constrained by a minimal amount of low-CTE metal (6 ppm/°C), further enhancing surface mount reliability.

Dielectric thicknesses from 0.005 inches to 0.125 inches (0.13 to 3.18 mm) are available, with cladding options including 0.5 oz/ft² to 2 oz/ft² electrodeposited copper, 0.5 oz/ft² to 1 oz/ft² reverse-treated electrodeposited copper, or 0.5 oz/ft² to 2 oz/ft² rolled copper. RT/duroid 6002 laminate is also available clad with aluminum, brass, or copper plates, as well as resistive foils.

Applications particularly well-suited to the unique properties of RT/duroid 6002 include flat and non-planar structures such as antennas, complex multilayer circuits with interlayer connections, and microwave circuits for aerospace designs operating in harsh environments. RT/duroid 6002 laminates are UL recognized under classification 94V-0 (Vertical Flammability Test).
