Rogers PCB material is a hard and dense material that can be used to manufacture printed circuit boards. The board contains an epoxy core, metal copper plating, and aluminum. The surface is coated with aluminum. It has good dimensional and thermal expansion coefficient advantages, can effectively control the magnitude of temperature stress, and ensures the stability of component performance. It can be widely used in high-frequency power distribution and circuit boards for CPUs, switches, connectors, and more.
Rogers PCB is a high-frequency board produced by Rogers Corporation. It is different from traditional PCB boards – epoxy resin (FR4). There is no glass fiber in the middle, and a ceramic substrate is used as the high-frequency material. Rogers has excellent dielectric constant and temperature stability. Its dielectric constant and thermal expansion coefficient are very consistent with copper foil, and it can be used to improve the shortcomings of PTFE substrates. It is very suitable for high-speed electronic design, commercial microwave, and RF applications. Its low water absorption makes it an ideal choice for high-humidity applications, providing customers in the high-frequency board industry with the highest quality materials and related resources, fundamentally improving product quality.
Why choose Rogers PCB?
