high-frequency PCBs, a game-changer in the realm of advanced
electronic design. These state-of-the-art laminates offer
unparalleled electrical performance akin to PTFE/woven glass,
coupled with the ease of manufacturability of epoxy/glass. RO4350B
materials stand out for their precise control over dielectric
constant (Dk), low loss, and cost-efficiency compared to
conventional microwave laminates, making them a preferred choice
for high-power RF designs and active devices.
Unlocking the Potential of RO4350B:
RO4350B boasts impressive technical specifications, including a
Dielectric Constant of DK 3.48 +/-0.05 at 10GHz/23°C, a minuscule
Dissipation Factor of 0.0037 at the same frequency and temperature,
and a Thermal Conductivity of 0.69 W/m/°K. Its thermal coefficient
of expansion (CTE) mirrors that of copper, ensuring exceptional
dimensional stability and reliable plated-through-hole quality.
With a robust Tg value exceeding 280°C and minimal water absorption
of 0.06%, RO4350B materials offer unparalleled performance and
longevity.
Crafting PCBs with Precision:
In the realm of PCB construction, a 2-layer rigid PCB utilizing
RO4350B features copper layers of 35 μm each, encapsulating a 0.102
mm (4mil) RO4350B core. The board dimensions span 43.98mm x 33.22
mm, with meticulous attention to detail in a minimum Trace/Space of
4/5 mils and a minimum Hole Size of 0.3mm. The finished board
thickness of 0.2mm, coupled with a 1oz (1.4 mils) Cu weight on the
outer layers and a 20 μm via plating thickness, ensures robust
performance and durability. The PCB is adorned with an ENEPIG
surface finish, foregoing top and bottom silkscreens or solder
masks, and undergoes a rigorous 100% electrical test before
shipment, guaranteeing uncompromised quality.
