RO3210 High-Frequency PCB – Rogers RO3210 Laminates for High-Performance RF Applications

1.Introducing Rogers RO3210 Laminates: Superior Performance for High-Frequency PCBs

Rogers RO3210 laminates are ceramic-filled, woven fiberglass-reinforced materials designed for high-frequency RF and microwave applications. These laminates combine the surface smoothness of non-woven PTFE for finer line etching tolerances with the rigidity of woven-glass PTFE, offering exceptional electrical performance and mechanical stability.

RO3210 laminates are ideal for complex multi-layer high-frequency structures, providing uniform electrical and mechanical performance, excellent dimensional stability, and reliable plated through-hole quality. With a Dk of 10.2 ±0.5 and low dissipation factor, RO3210 is perfect for automotive, wireless telecommunications, and satellite applications.
