Additional Components & Features
Rogers RO4003C PCB supports a focused component layout with 6 total components, 11 pads (5 thru-hole, 6 top SMT), and 5 vias connecting 4 nets. The design is supplied in Gerber RS-274-X format. A notable feature is the omission of solder mask and silkscreen, which is typical for many RF and microwave circuits where precise impedance and minimal dielectric loss at high frequencies are paramount.
Material Advantages
Rogers RO4003C laminate is the foundation of this PCB's performance. It offers a stable dielectric constant (Dk) of 3.38±0.05 at 10GHz and a low dissipation factor (Df) of 0.0027, minimizing signal loss. The material features a high Tg >280°C, excellent thermal conductivity (0.71 W/m/°K), and a CTE matched to copper, ensuring dimensional stability. It is compatible with standard FR-4 manufacturing processes, providing a cost-effective solution for high-frequency applications, though it is not UL 94 V-0 rated.
Typical Applications
This PCB is engineered for use in:
Aerospace & Defense: Radar systems, guidance systems, and commercial airline broadband antennas.
