RO4003C LoPro PCB Rogers 12.7mil Reverse Treated Foil (RTF) Circuit Board for High Speed Back Planes

(Printed Circuit Boards are custom-made products; the images and specifications shown are for reference only.)


Product Description

RO4003C LoPro laminates utilize proprietary technology from Rogers that allows reverse treated foil to bond effectively with standard RO4003C dielectric. This innovation results in a laminate with low conductor loss, enhancing insertion loss and signal integrity while preserving all the desirable attributes of the standard RO4003C laminate system.



Features and Benefits

RO4003C materials are reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramic laminates featuring very low profile reverse treated foil, providing several advantages:


Lower Insertion Loss:Improved signal transmission efficiency.
Low Passive Intermodulation (PIM):Enhances overall performance in RF applications.
Increased Signal Integrity:Ensures clearer signal transmission.
High Circuit Density:Supports complex circuit designs without compromising performance.


Thermal and Design Characteristics

Low Z-axis Coefficient of Thermal Expansion:Facilitates multi-layer board capability and design flexibility.
Lead-Free Process Compatible:Supports high-temperature processing and meets environmental regulations.
CAF Resistant:Increases reliability in harsh environments.


Typical Applications

1.Digital applications such as servers, routers, and high-speed backplanes
2.Cellular base station antennas and power amplifiers
3.LNBs for direct broadcast satellites
4.RF Identification Tags
