Rogers TMM10i 2-Layer 15mil Pure Gold PCB for Microwave Applications
1.Introduction to Core Technologies
Rogers TMM 10i isotropic thermoset microwave material is a ceramic thermoset polymer composite designed for high plated thru-hole reliability strip-line and micro-strip applications. TMM 10i microwave material has an isotropic dielectric constant (Dk). Like the other TMM series materials, TMM 10i combines many of the desirable features of ceramic and PTFE substrates, with the ease of soft substrate processing techniques.
2.Key Performance Characteristics:
Dk of 9.80 ±0.245
Dissipation factor of 0.0020 at 10GHz
Thermal coefficient of Dk of -43 ppm/°K
Coefficient of thermal expansion matched to copper
Decomposition Temperature (Td) of 425°C TGA
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion - x y z : 19ppm/K, 19ppm/K, 20ppm/K
Thermal Conductivity of 0.76W/mk
