Rogers Cuclad 217 20mil laminate PCB Double-layer Immersion Gold Blue Solder Mask

Rogers Cuclad 217 20mil laminate PCB Double-layer Immersion Gold Blue Solder Mask

This product is a high-performance, double-layer printed circuit board engineered for demanding radio frequency (RF) and microwave applications. Manufactured using Rogers CuClad 217 laminate, this board is designed to provide exceptional electrical stability, low signal loss, and reliable performance in sensitive electronic systems. With its immersion gold surface finish, precise 20-mil core thickness, and adherence to IPC-Class-2 standards, this Cuclad 217 PCB represents a reliable solution for advanced communications and defense electronics.

The core of this 20mil Cuclad 217 PCB is the renowned Rogers CuClad 217 material, a composite laminate constructed from cross-piled woven fiberglass and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This unique structure provides in-plane electrical and mechanical isotropy, ensuring consistent performance regardless of signal direction. With an ultra-low dielectric constant (Dk) of 2.17 and a remarkably low dissipation factor of 0.0009 at 10 GHz, it enables faster signal propagation and higher signal-to-noise ratios. The material's low moisture absorption (0.02%) and excellent peel strength further guarantee long-term reliability and durability under various environmental conditions.
