Rogers RT/duroid 6006 Laminates for High-Frequency Circuits

Rogers RT/duroid 6006 laminates are advanced ceramic-PTFE composites specifically designed for electronic and microwave circuit applications that demand a high dielectric constant (Dk). These laminates offer an array of features and benefits, making them an excellent choice for various industries. Let's explore the key attributes of RT/duroid 6006 laminates and their potential applications.

Featuring a dielectric constant of 6.15 +/- 0.15 at 10 GHz/23°C, RT/duroid 6006 laminates enable circuit size reduction without compromising performance. This high dielectric constant is particularly advantageous in applications where space is limited, allowing for more compact electronic circuits.

With a low dissipation factor of 0.0027 at 10 GHz/23°C, RT/duroid 6006 laminates exhibit minimal signal loss, making them ideal for high-frequency operation, especially in the X-band or below. This characteristic ensures reliable and efficient signal transmission, contributing to enhanced system performance.

One notable aspect of RT/duroid 6006 laminates is their tight control over dielectric constant (εr) and thickness, resulting in consistent and repeatable circuit performance. This precise control enables engineers to design and manufacture circuits with predictable behavior, reducing variability and ensuring reliable operation across multiple boards and production runs.

In addition to their electrical properties, RT/duroid 6006 laminates showcase excellent moisture absorption resistance, with a moisture absorption rate of only 0.05%. This attribute is crucial for maintaining circuit performance and integrity, particularly in high-humidity environments, ensuring long-term reliability.

The laminates also exhibit a high thermal decomposition temperature (Td) exceeding 500 °C, offering remarkable thermal stability. This quality ensures that the circuits built with RT/duroid 6006 laminates can withstand demanding thermal conditions, further enhancing their reliability and longevity.

When used in a 2-layer rigid PCB stackup, RT/duroid 6006 laminates deliver reliable plated through-holes, enhancing interconnection between layers and strengthening the overall structural integrity of the PCB. The laminates are clad with standard and reverse treated electrodeposited copper foil, providing enhanced circuit performance and reliability.

For seamless integration into circuit designs, we provide detailed PCB construction specifications, including board dimensions, trace/space requirements, hole sizes, finished board thickness, copper weight, via plating thickness, surface finish, silkscreen, solder mask, and electrical testing. These specifications adhere to high-quality standards and ensure that the finished boards meet stringent performance criteria.

RT/duroid 6006 laminates are globally available, providing engineers and designers worldwide with access to these exceptional materials. Their versatility and reliability make them suitable for various applications such as patch antennas, satellite communications systems, power amplifiers, aircraft collision avoidance systems, and ground radar warning systems.

With their outstanding features and benefits, Rogers RT/duroid 6006 laminates are an excellent choice for high-frequency electronic circuits, offering reliable performance and contributing to the advancement of electronic systems across a wide range of industries.
