Rogers TMM6 2-Layer 15mil Ceramic Thermoset PCB with ENEPIG Surface Finish
1.Introduction
Rogers TMM 6 thermoset microwave material is a ceramic thermoset polymer composite designed for high plated thru-hole reliability strip-line and micro-strip applications.
TMM 6 laminates offer a combination of the benefits of both ceramic and traditional PTFE microwave circuit laminates without requiring the specialized production techniques common to those materials, all at a unique dielectric constant (Dk) compared to other materials in the product family.
2.Key Features
Dielectric constant (Dk) of 6.0 +/- .08 at 10GHz
Dissipation factor of .0023 at 10GHz
Thermal coefficient of Dk of -11 ppm/°K
Coefficient of thermal expansion matched to copper
Decomposition Temperature (Td) of 425 °C TGA
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion - x y z : 18 ppm/K, 18 ppm/K, 26 ppm/K
Thermal Conductivity of 0.72W/mk
Available in a thickness range of .0015 to .500 inches +/- .0015”
3.Benefits
Mechanical properties resist creep and cold flow
Resistant to process chemicals, reducing damage during fabrication
Based on a thermoset resin, allowing for reliable wire-bonding
All common PCB processes can be used with TMM 6 materials
