Rogers RT/duroid 5880LZ 2-Layer 10mil Lightweight RF PCB with Immersion Gold

1.Introduction

Rogers RT/duroid® 5880LZ filled PTFE composites are designed for exacting stripline and microstrip circuit applications.

The unique filler results in a low density, lightweight material for high performance weight sensitive applications.

The very low dielectric constant of RT/duroid 5880LZ 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 5880LZ laminates to Ku-band and above.
