RO3006 High-Frequency PCB - 2-Layer 25mil Thick with ENIG Finish for RF/Microwave Applications

1.Introduction to RO3006 High-Frequency Laminate

Rogers RO3006 is a ceramic-filled PTFE composite designed for commercial microwave and RF applications. It provides exceptional dielectric constant (Dk) stability across temperatures, eliminating the Dk step change common in PTFE glass materials. Ideal for:
Automotive radar systems
5G wireless infrastructure
Satellite communications

2. Key Features

Dielectric Constant (Dk): 6.15 ± 0.15 @ 10 GHz/23°C
Dissipation Factor (Df): 0.002 @ 10 GHz
Thermal Stability: Td > 500°C
Thermal Conductivity: 0.79 W/mK
Moisture Absorption: 0.02%
CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion):
X/Y-Axis: 17 ppm/°C (matches copper)
Z-Axis: 24 ppm/°C

3. Benefits

Stable Dk vs. Temperature/Frequency: Ensures reliable performance in RF circuits.
Low CTE (Matches Copper): Reduces thermal stress for SMT assemblies.
Cost-Effective Manufacturing: Suitable for high-volume production.
