Rogers TC350 is a composite material made up of woven fiberglass for reinforcement, ceramic for filling, and a PTFE base, all of which are utilized in the creation of printed circuit boards. TC350 PCB is designed in such a way that it can achieve enhanced heat - transfer with its remarkable "Best - In - Class" thermal conductivity. At the same time, it is formulated to decrease dielectric loss and insertion loss. As a result of these reduced losses, amplifier and antenna gains are increased, and efficiencies are improved. |

Features and Benefits: |
|
|
Rogers TC350 laminate comes with increased thermal conductivity, which enables it to manage higher power, reduce hot - spots, and improve the reliability of the device. This causes junction temperatures to drop and the lifespan of active components to lengthen. These enhancements are essential for enhancing the reliability of power amplifiers, prolonging the MTBF, and reducing warranty - related costs.
TC350 substrate demonstrates remarkable dielectric constant stability within a wide temperature range. This aids power amplifier and antenna designers in maximizing gain and minimizing the dead bandwidth that results from dielectric constant drift when the operating temperature changes.
TC350 PCB forms a firm connection with copper, making use of low - profile, microwave - grade copper. This leads to an even lower insertion loss as the skin - effect losses of copper, which are more significant at higher RF and microwave frequencies, are lessened. |
