Rogers Rt/Duroid 5880lz: High-Performance PCB Material for RF Electronics

Brief Introduction

RT/duroid 5880LZ is a filled PTFE composite laminate engineered for demanding stripline and microstrip circuit applications in high-frequency electronics. It provides a low-density, lightweight solution suitable for performance-critical and weight-sensitive designs, such as aerospace and advanced communication systems.


Technical Features & Benefits

Low and Stable Dielectric Constant: The dielectric constant (εr) remains consistently low at 2.00 across panels and over a wide frequency range, ensuring reliable signal integrity in RF and microwave circuits.
Low Dissipation Factor: With a typical loss tangent of 0.0021, the material supports low-loss performance up to Ku-band and beyond, ideal for high-frequency printed circuit boards.
Excellent Thermal and Dimensional Stability: Low thermal coefficient of εr (+20 ppm/°C) and minimal dimensional change (-0.38%) ensure reliable operation under varying environmental conditions.
Superior Electrical Properties: High volume and surface resistivity, along with strong dielectric strength (40 kV), provide robust insulation and performance in multilayer PCB designs.
