TC600 High-Frequency PCB – Features, Capabilities & Applications
August 12,2025
Introduction
Rogers TC600 is a advanced PTFE-based composite material reinforced with woven fiberglass and ceramic fillers. Engineered specifically for high-performance printed circuit boards, it delivers best-in-class thermal conductivity, reduced dielectric loss, and minimal insertion loss. These properties make it an ideal substrate for amplifiers, antennas, and other RF applications where efficiency and thermal management are critical.
The exceptional heat dissipation capability supports higher power handling, reduces hot spots, and enhances overall device reliability. TC600 works seamlessly with thermal management techniques such as heat sinks, coins, and thermal vias, giving designers greater flexibility and margin in thermal design.
Key Features
High Dielectric Constant (DK): 6.15 for compact circuit design
Low Dissipation Factor: 0.002 at 10 GHz for minimal signal loss
Excellent Thermal Conductivity:
Z-axis: 1.1 W/mK
X/Y-axis: 1.4 W/mK
Stable Dielectric Constant: TCDk of -75 ppm/°C from -40°C to 150°C at 10 GHz
Low Z-CTE: 35 ppm/°C for reliable plated through holes
These features ensure stable performance across temperature variations, making TC600 ideal for power amplifiers and antennas where gain and bandwidth consistency are crucial.
