Rogers 5880 sheet is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based material with a dielectric constant of 2.2 and is available in thicknesses ranging from 0.003 inches to 0.240 inches. The sheets are available in copper foil thicknesses of 0.5oz, 1oz, 2oz, and 3oz, with finishes of chemical gold plating, chemical silver plating, and chemical tin plating.
The panels offer excellent fire resistance, with a fire rating of UL94 V-0. UL94 is a fire test standard developed by Underwriters Laboratories, and the V-0 rating is the highest level, indicating that the material burns very slowly in the presence of a flame and has an extremely short time to spontaneous combustion. This means that Rogers 5880 panels are effective in slowing the spread of fire in the event of a fire, providing more escape time and protecting equipment.
RT/duroid® 5880 Laminates
Rogers RT/duroid 5880 high-frequency laminates are micro-glass fiber reinforced PTFE composites. RT/duroid 5880 laminates feature a low dielectric constant (Dk) and low loss, making them ideal for high-frequency/broadband applications. Randomly oriented microglass fiber reinforcement gives this PTFE composite excellent Dk uniformity.
Characteristics: Dk 2.20 +/- .02, Df .0009@10GHz, low moisture absorption, isotropic;
Advantages: consistent electrical properties over a wide frequency range, easy to cut, share, and process for molding, good resistance to solutions and reagents used in the process of etching or plating edges as well as over-holes, well suited for high humidity environments, very mature material, very low
Very low electrical losses, glass fiber reinforced PTFE.
