Rogers RT/duroid 5870 High-Frequency PCB Laminate for Electronics Design
Brief Introduction
RT/duroid 5870 is a glass microfiber reinforced PTFE composite designed for exacting stripline and microstrip circuit applications. The randomly oriented microfibers result in exceptional dielectric constant uniformity, which is consistent from panel to panel and over a wide frequency range. Its low dissipation factor extends its usefulness to Ku-band and beyond. The material is easily machined and resistant to common PCB processing chemicals.
Technical Features & Benefits
Exceptional dielectric constant uniformity due to randomly oriented glass microfibers.
Stable dielectric constant (Dk) over a wide frequency range and from panel to panel.
Very low dissipation factor, enabling high-frequency performance up to Ku-band and above.
Easy to cut, shear, and machine.
Resistant to solvents and reagents used in standard PCB fabrication.
Compatible with lead-free processing.
