Introduction

The RO4003C 12mil PCB is a high-performance, cost-effective solution designed for RF and microwave applications. Engineered with Rogers Corporation’s proprietary RO4003C laminate, this PCB combines exceptional electrical performance with ease of fabrication, making it ideal for high-volume, performance-sensitive applications. Whether you’re designing cellular base station antennas, automotive radar systems, or RF identification tags, the Rogers RO4003C PCB delivers unmatched reliability and precision.

Rogers 4003C laminates are woven glass-reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramic materials that offer the electrical performance of PTFE/woven glass with the manufacturability of epoxy/glass. This unique combination ensures tight control over dielectric constant (Dk) and low signal loss, while maintaining compatibility with standard FR-4 processing methods. Unlike traditional PTFE-based materials, RO4003C Substrate does not require special through-hole treatments or handling procedures, significantly reducing fabrication costs and lead times.

Key Features

1. Exceptional Electrical Performance

• Dielectric Constant (Dk): 3.38 +/- 0.05 at 10 GHz, ensuring consistent signal integrity across high-frequency applications.
• Dissipation Factor (Df): 0.0027 at 10 GHz and 0.0021 at 2.5 GHz, minimizing signal loss and enhancing efficiency.
• Thermal Coefficient of Dielectric Constant: +40 ppm/°C, providing stable performance across a wide temperature range.

2. Superior Thermal and Mechanical Properties

• Thermal Conductivity: 0.71 W/m/°K, ensuring efficient heat dissipation.
• Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE): X-axis: 11 ppm/°C, Y-axis: 14 ppm/°C, Z-axis: 46 ppm/°C. The CTE closely matches that of copper, ensuring excellent dimensional stability and reliable plated through-hole quality, even under severe thermal shock conditions.
• Glass Transition Temperature (Tg): >280°C (536°F), maintaining stability across high-temperature processing environments.

3. Low Moisture Absorption
