Brief Introduction

RT/duroid 6002 high-frequency circuit material stands as a groundbreaking low-loss, low-dielectric-constant laminate that delivers exceptional electrical and mechanical properties for demanding microwave applications. Rogers RT/duroid 6002 PCB material enables the design of complex microwave structures with outstanding reliability and electrical stability, making it an ideal choice for high-frequency circuits requiring precision performance.

Engineered for thermal stability, RT/duroid 6002 PCB laminate exhibits an extremely low thermal coefficient of dielectric constant across a wide temperature range from -55℃ to +150℃. This crucial characteristic ensures the electrical stability necessary for precision components like filters, oscillators, and delay lines in modern microwave systems. The material's low Z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion guarantees exceptional plated-through-hole reliability, demonstrated through rigorous testing that shows zero via failures after 5000+ temperature cycles from -55℃ to 125℃.

RT/duroid 6002 printed circuit board achieves remarkable dimensional stability (0.2 to 0.5 mils/inch) by precisely matching X and Y coefficient of expansion to copper, effectively eliminating the need for double etching to maintain tight positional tolerances. The material's low tensile modulus significantly reduces stress on solder joints while allowing expansion to be constrained by low CTE metals, substantially enhancing surface mount reliability.

The unique properties of RT/duroid 6002 make it particularly suitable for challenging applications including flat and non-planar antenna structures, complex multilayer circuits with inter-layer connections, and sophisticated microwave circuits for aerospace systems operating in hostile environments. Rogers RT/duroid 6002 continues to set the standard for reliability and performance in advanced microwave PCB applications.

Key Advantages of RT/duroid 6002 PCB Laminate

RT/duroid 6002 is a ceramic-filled PTFE composite laminate engineered for high-frequency and microwave applications, featuring a stable dielectric constant of 2.94 ± 0.04 and an ultra-low dissipation factor of 0.0012 at 10 GHz, which ensures minimal signal loss and superior high-frequency performance. Its dielectric constant shows a very low thermal coefficient of just 12 ppm/°C across a temperature range of -50°C to 150°C, delivering consistent electrical behavior under varying thermal conditions. RT/duroid 6002 microwave material offers excellent dimensional stability with a coefficient of thermal expansion closely matched to copper in the X and Y axes at 16 ppm/°C, facilitating reliable surface-mount assembly, while its low Z-axis CTE of 24 ppm/°C contributes to enhanced plated through-hole reliability, having proven robust through 5,000 temperature cycles from -55°C to 125°C. Additionally, with moisture absorption below 0.02%, low outgassing characteristics, and a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RT/duroid 6002 PCB substrate is a dependable choice for demanding aerospace, defense, and high-reliability multilayer PCB designs.
