In the world of high-frequency electronics, the demand for reliable, high-performance printed circuit boards (PCBs) is ever-growing. At bicheng, we specialize in supplying PCBs using Rogers’ RO3210 high-frequency circuit materials, ensuring exceptional electrical performance and mechanical stability for your most demanding applications.
What is RO3210?
RO3210 is a ceramic-filled laminate reinforced with woven fiberglass, engineered by Rogers Corporation to deliver superior electrical and mechanical properties. This material combines the surface smoothness of non-woven PTFE laminates, enabling finer line etching tolerances, with the rigidity of woven-glass PTFE laminates. RO3210 is ideal for high-frequency applications, offering improved mechanical stability and consistent performance.
Why RO3210?
RO3210 is not just another PCB material – it’s a game-changer. Developed by Rogers Corporation, this ceramic-filled, woven fiberglass laminate is engineered to offer a unique combination of electrical and mechanical properties. Its standout features include:
Exceptional Electrical Performance: With a dielectric constant (Dk) of 10.2 and a low dissipation factor of 0.0027 at 10 GHz, RO3210 ensures minimal signal loss, making it ideal for high-frequency applications.
Mechanical Stability: The woven glass reinforcement provides superior rigidity, simplifying handling during fabrication and assembly.
Thermal Reliability: With a thermal conductivity of 0.81 W/mk and a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) matched to copper, RO3210 ensures reliable performance even under thermal stress.
Surface Smoothness: The material’s smooth surface allows for finer line etching tolerances, enabling the creation of intricate circuit designs.
