Rogers 15mil 2-Layer TMM10 EPIG PCB Board: High-Performance Circuit Board for Nickel-Free Thermoset Microwave Application
Printed Circuit Boards are custom-made products; the images and specifications provided are for reference only.
1. Introduction
Rogers TMM10 high frequency circuit laminates is manufactured using high-grade thermoset microwave material, which skillfully combines the advantages of PTFE and ceramic-based substrates without being constrained by the mechanical limitations and specialized production processes that often restrict these conventional materials. This nickel-free EPIG (Electroless Palladium Immersion Gold) finished circuit board is engineered to deliver consistent performance for high-frequency applications requiring reliable connectivity and structural stability.
A key advantage of Rogers TMM10 thermoset laminate lies in its optimized material formulation, which eliminates the need for sodium naphthanate treatment prior to electroless plating—simplifying the manufacturing process while ensuring plating reliability. Designed to balance electrical performance and process compatibility, Rogers TMM10 PCB substrate serves as a versatile solution for demanding microwave and RF applications where nickel-free finishes and robust mechanical properties are essential.
