Rogers RO4360 RF PCB 20mil Double Sided High Frequency PCB With Immersion Gold for Patch Antennas

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


Overview:

RO4360G2 laminates from Rogers Corporation are advanced materials characterized by a dielectric constant (Dk) of 6.15 and low loss properties. These glass-reinforced, hydrocarbon ceramic-filled thermoset materials provide an ideal balance of performance and processing ease. RO4360G2 extends Rogers' portfolio of high-performance materials, offering a lead-free process capable solution that enhances rigidity for improved processability in multi-layer board constructions while reducing material and fabrication costs.


RO4360G2 laminates process similarly to FR-4 and are compatible with automated assembly. They feature a low Z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), providing design flexibility, and maintain a high glass transition temperature (Tg) consistent with the RO4000 product line. These laminates can be paired with RO4450F prepreg and lower-Dk RO4000 laminates in multi-layer designs.


With a Dk of 6.15 (Design Dk 6.4), RO4360G2 laminates enable designers to reduce circuit dimensions in applications where size and cost are critical. They are an excellent value choice for engineers working on designs such as power amplifiers, patch antennas, ground-based radar, and other general RF applications.
