Construction Details

Key Features of RO3003 Material

• Dielectric Constant (Dk): 3.0 ± 0.04 at 10GHz, ensuring consistent performance over a wide frequency range.
• Dissipation Factor (Df): 0.001 at 10GHz, enabling minimal signal loss and high efficiency.
• Thermal Decomposition Temperature (Td): >500°C, ensuring excellent thermal reliability in extreme conditions.
• Thermal Conductivity: 0.5 W/mK, enabling effective heat dissipation in high-power designs.
• Moisture Absorption: 0.04%, making it suitable for humid or challenging environments.
• CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion): X-axis: 17 ppm/°C. Y-axis: 16 ppm/°C. Z-axis: 25 ppm/°C.

Benefits of the RO3003 PCB

The low dissipation factor (Df) of 0.001 minimizes signal loss, making this PCB ideal for high-frequency applications up to 77GHz, such as automotive radar and satellite communication systems.

The consistent Dk of 3.0 ± 0.04 ensures stable performance over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies, which is crucial for bandpass filters, patch antennas, and more.

With a thermal decomposition temperature (Td) of over 500°C and thermal conductivity of 0.5 W/mK, this PCB dissipates heat efficiently, ensuring reliable performance in high-power RF systems.

The low CTE values allow the PCB to maintain its shape and size under thermal stress, making it highly reliable for surface-mounted assemblies and hybrid designs.

With a moisture absorption rate of just 0.04%, the RO3003 PCB is ideal for marine, aerospace, and outdoor environments where humidity is a concern.
