The Rogers RO4003C High Frequency PCB is engineered for applications that demand exceptional electrical performance and ease of manufacturability. This advanced material features woven glass reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramics, providing the electrical characteristics of PTFE/woven glass with the processing advantages of epoxy/glass composites. Available in multiple configurations, including 1080 and 1674 glass fabric styles, all variants maintain rigorous laminate electrical performance specifications.
RO4450F Bondply
The RO4450F bondply is comprised of several grades based on the RO4000 series core materials, and are compatible in multi-layer constructions with RO4000 laminates. A high postcure Tg makes RO4450F bondply an excellent choice for multi-layers requiring sequential laminations as fully cured RO4450F bondplys are capable of handling multiple lamination cycles. In addition, FR-4 compatible bond requirements permit RO4450F bondply and low flow FR-4 bondply to be combined into non-homogeneous multi-layer constructions using a single bond cycle.
