RT/duroid 6002 High Frequency PCB

Introduction

Rogers RT/duroid 6002 laminates are advanced microwave materials that combine ceramic-filled PTFE with low loss and low dielectric constant. They are specifically designed for complex microwave structures. These laminates exhibit exceptional mechanical and electrical properties, making them highly reliable for use in multi-layer board constructions.

Features

RT/duroid 6002 laminates have a dielectric constant of 2.94, with a tolerance of +/- .04. This property is important for maintaining signal integrity in microwave applications.

These laminates exhibit a low thermal coefficient of Dk, measuring at 12 ppm/°C. This ensures the dielectric constant remains stable over a wide temperature range, minimizing any variations in electrical performance.

The dissipation factor, or loss tangent, of the RT/duroid 6002 laminates is .0012 at a frequency of 10 GHz. This indicates the material's ability to minimize signal loss and maintain high signal quality, ensuring efficient transmission of microwave signals.

These laminates also possess a low Z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion, measuring at 24 ppm/°C. This characteristic indicates the material's stability and resistance to dimensional changes when exposed to temperature variations, reducing the risk of warping or delamination in multi-layer board constructions.
