Key Features of RO4003C PCB
Exceptional Electrical Performance
Dielectric Constant (Dk): 3.38 ±0.05 at 10 GHz
Dissipation Factor: 0.0027 at 10 GHz, 0.0021 at 2.5 GHz
Low loss and tight control over dielectric properties ensure superior signal integrity, making it perfect for high-frequency applications.
Thermal Stability
Thermal Conductivity: 0.71 W/m/°K
Thermal Coefficient of Dielectric Constant: +40 ppm/°C
High Tg (>280°C or 536°F) ensures stable performance across a wide range of temperatures, even in severe thermal shock environments.
Dimensional Stability
X-axis CTE: 11 ppm/°C, Y-axis CTE: 14 ppm/°C, Z-axis CTE: 46 ppm/°C
Matches the thermal expansion of copper, ensuring excellent dimensional stability and reliable plated through-hole quality.
Low Moisture Absorption
Moisture Absorption: 0.06%
This low moisture absorption rate enhances reliability in humid or demanding environments.
Cost-Effective Manufacturing
Processes like FR-4, eliminating the need for special through-hole treatments or handling procedures.
Competitively priced compared to conventional microwave laminates.
