Introduction to RO4003C™ Material
Rogers RO4003C material is a proprietary woven glass reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramic with the electrical properties of PTFE/woven glass and the manufacturability of epoxy/glass.
Configurations and Electrical Performance
Available Configurations
RO4003C laminates are available in a variety of configurations in 1080 et 1674 glass fabric styles, all conforming to the same laminate electrical performance specifications.
Electrical Performance Advantages
RO4003C laminates offer tightly controlled dielectric constant (Ne sait pas) and low loss while using the same processing methods as standard epoxy/glass, but at a fraction of the cost of traditional microwave laminates. Unlike PTFE-based microwave materials, no special through-hole processing or handling procedures are required.
Flammability Rating
RO4003C material is bromine free and does not meet UL 94 V-0 ratings. For applications or designs that require a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, RO4835™ and RO4350B™ laminates do meet this requirement.
