Rogers RO4003C PCB 4-Layer Multilayer PCB with Countersunk Holes for Base Station Antennas and RF Applications
Rogers RO4003C PCB 4-Layer Multilayer PCB with Countersunk Holes for Base Station Antennas and RF Applications
Printed Circuit Boards are custom-made products; the images and specifications provided are for reference only.
Rogers RO4003C PCB utilizes proprietary woven glass reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramic technology that delivers the electrical performance of PTFE/woven glass materials while maintaining the manufacturability of standard epoxy/glass. RO4003C laminates employ both 1080 and 1674 glass fabric styles while ensuring consistent electrical performance across all configurations.
Rogers RO4003C PCB provides tight dielectric constant control and low loss characteristics using standard FR-4 processing methods, offering significant cost advantages over conventional microwave laminates without requiring special through-hole treatments. With a thermal expansion coefficient closely matched to copper and high Tg exceeding 280°C, RO4003C PCB material ensures excellent dimensional stability for complex multilayer constructions.
