4. RO4003C Laminate Introduction
RO4003C belongs to RO4000 series hydrocarbon ceramic high frequency laminates, not PTFE based material. It is developed for high frequency low loss and cost-sensitive mass production applications above 500MHz.It features low dielectric tolerance, low insertion loss and stable dielectric constant across wide frequency range. The temperature coefficient of dielectric constant is extremely low, suitable for broadband circuits, controlled impedance lines and filter design.With high Tg over 280°C and low thermal expansion coefficient close to copper, RO4003C delivers excellent dimensional stability and reliable plated through hole performance under thermal shock. It can be processed with standard FR4 manufacturing processes without special via etching treatment, supporting automated production and CAF resistance.
