Hello Everyone,
Today, we’re going to introduce high frequency PCB built on RO4003C laminates.
RO4003C is a woven glass cloth reinforced hydrocarbon resin ceramic-filled laminate from Rogers Corporation, which has very similar electrical properties to PTFE and its processability is similar to epoxy resin (glass cloth) material.
Now let’s see the 5 advantages of RO4003C laminates.
1. Superior high frequency performance
RO4003C materials are hydrocarbon ceramic filled laminates, not PTFE which are designed to offer superior high frequency performance.
2. Low dielectric loss
Low loss results in excellent electrical performance and allows applications with high operating frequencies.
3. Stable electrical properties versus frequency
RO4003C material possesses the properties of RF microwave circuits, matching networks and controlled impedance transmission lines.
4. Low thermal coefficient of dielectric constant
This allows the RO4003C to exhibit excellent dimensional stability, a property needed for mixed dielectric multi-layer PCBs constructions and reliable plated through holes.
5. Cost
RO4003C laminates can be fabricated using standard FR-4 processes, do not require speicalized via preparation prcoesses, can be processed by automated handling systems and scrubbing equipment used for copper surface preparation. This properties allow it can be using in volume manufacturing and get competitively priced.

Double sided circuit boards on RO4003C are available in a variety of thicknesses, such as 12mil, 16mil, 20mil, 32mil and 60mil. It's used in a variety of typical and non-traditional microwave / radio frequency applications, such as base station antennas, power amplifiers, RFID, radar and sensors etc.
The basic colour of RO4003C PCB is white.
Multilayer circuit boards on RO4003C are widely used in the application of high reliability aerospace and its prepreg layer is also rogers bonding material ---RO4450F.
In order to save production cost but not reduce signal loss in high frequency environment, mixed pressure production with FR-4 came into being. At present, the technology of mixed circuit board is mature and popular in the market.
We specialize in provide you with prototype, small batches and mass production service.
