Rogers RO4835 2-Layer 0.254mm ENEPIG PCB for Automotive Radar Applications
1.Introduction to Core Technologies
Rogers' RO4835 laminate offers enhanced stability at high temperatures and is more resistant to oxidation than other hydrocarbon materials. RO4835 laminates share similar electrical and mechanical properties with RO4350B laminates and are designed for high frequency performance and cost-effective circuit fabrication. It uses standard epoxy/glass (FR-4) processes and is competitively priced.
RO4835 laminates are a low loss material that offer low cost circuit fabrication. These laminates are available with Rogers proprietary LoPro Reverse treated copper foil, ideal for applications requiring low insertion loss.
2.Key Performance Characteristics:
RoHS compliant for applications requiring UL 94 V-0
IPC-4103 compliant
Dielectric constant (Dk) of 3.48 ±0.05
Dissipation factor of 0.0037 at 10 GHz
Glass Transition Temp (Tg) >280°C TMA
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of 10 ppm/°C on X axis, 12 ppm/°C on Y axis, 31 ppm/°C on Z axis
3.Benefits
