RT/duroid 5880 2-Layer 0.45mm Immersion Gold PCB for High-Frequency Applications

1.Introduction

Rogers RT/duroid 5880 high frequency laminates are PTFE composites reinforced with glass microfibers, designed for exacting stripline and microstrip circuit applications. The randomly oriented microfibers result in exceptional dielectric constant uniformity. The dielectric constant of RT/duroid 5880 laminates is uniform from panel to panel and is constant over a wide frequency range. Its low dissipation factor extends the usefulness of RT/duroid 5880 laminates to Ku-band and above. These laminates are easily cut, sheared and machined to shape. They are resistant to all solvents and reagents, hot or cold, normally used in etching printed circuits or in plating edges and holes.
