RO4835 High Frequency PCBs
Introduction
Thermoset laminate materials, including FR-4, are susceptible to oxidation over time and with increased temperatures. This can lead to a slight rise in both the dielectric constant and dissipation factor of the circuit substrate. Rogers' RO4835 laminate offers enhanced stability at elevated temperatures and is more resistant to oxidation than other hydrocarbon materials.
It offers electrical and mechanical properties similar to those of RO4350B laminates, making it suitable for high-frequency applications and cost-effective circuit manufacturing. These laminates are low-loss materials that work well with standard epoxy/glass (FR-4) processes.
Features
RO4835 is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental standards and making it suitable for applications requiring UL 94 V-0 certification for flame retardancy.
They are available with Rogers proprietary LoPro Reverse treated copper foil, which is perfect for applications that required low insertion loss.
RO4835's dielectric constant of 3.48 with tight tolerances ensures consistent electrical performance, critical for signal integrity in RF and microwave circuits.
But that’s not all . RO4835 exhibits low signal loss with a dissipation factor of 0.0037 at 10 GHz, making it a reliable choice for high-frequency applications where minimal loss is essential.
Additionally, it features exceptional CTE values of 10, 12, and 31 ppm/°C in the X, Y, and Z directions, respectively.
