Rogers RT/duroid 6002 DK2.94 Df0.0012 (0.005-0.060") PTFE Ceramic Laminate
Brief Introduction
RT/duroid 6002 is a PTFE/ceramic laminate designed for high-frequency circuit applications requiring consistent electrical performance across a wide temperature range. It offers a dielectric constant of 2.94 ±0.04 (for thicknesses ≥0.020") and an ultra-low dissipation factor of 0.0012 at 10 GHz. The material features excellent thermal stability with a thermal coefficient of dielectric constant of +5 ppm/°C, making it ideal for applications requiring stable phase and amplitude performance across temperature variations.
