RO3210 2-Layer 0.6mm High-Frequency PCB – 20mil Ceramic Woven Glass with Immersion Gold for Automotive Radar and 5G Base Stations

1. Introduction to RO3210 2-Layer 0.6mm PCB

Rogers' RO3210 high frequency circuit materials are ceramic-filled laminates reinforced with woven fiberglass, engineered to deliver exceptional electrical performance and mechanical stability with one distinguishing characteristic - significantly improved mechanical stability. RO3210 laminates uniquely combine the surface smoothness of non-woven PTFE laminates, enabling finer line etching tolerances, with the rigidity of woven-glass PTFE laminates. These advanced materials can be fabricated into printed circuit boards using standard PTFE circuit board processing techniques, making them both high-performing and practical for manufacturing.
