Hello everyone,
Today we’re talk about RO3006 high frequency PCBs.
RO3006 high frequency circuit laminates are ceramic-filled PTFE composites intended for using in commercial microwave and RF applications. Its obvious characteristic is that the electrical performance is exceptional and the mechanical property is stable and consistent. This allows our designer to develop multi-layer board without encountering warpage or reliability problems.
More features and applications are as follows:
Firstly, excellent mechanical properties versus temperature, it’s reliable for stripline and multi-layer board constructions.
Secondly, uniform mechanical properties, it’s suitable for use with epoxy glass multi-layer board hybrid designs.
Thirdly, low in-plane expansion coefficient matches to copper, it allows for more reliable surface mounted assemblies; ideal for applications sensitive to temperature change and exhibit excellent dimensional stability.
