Rogers RO4003C materials

Rogers RO4003C materials are non-brominated and are not UL 94 V-0 rated. For applications or designs requiring a UL 94 V-0 flame rating, RO4835 and RO4350B laminates do meet this requirement.

Rogers RO4003C materials are proprietary woven glass reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramics with the electrical performance of PTFE/woven glass and the manufacturability of epoxy/ glass. Offered in various configurations, RO4003C utilizes both 1080 and 1674 glass fabric styles with all configurations meeting the same laminate electrical performance specification.

RO4003C provides tight control on dielectric constant and low loss while utilizing the same processing method as standard epoxy/glass but at a fraction of the cost of conventional microwave laminates. Unlike PTFE based microwave materials, no special through-hole treatments or handling procedures are required.

Rogers RO4000 series of high frequency circuit materials are glass reinforced hydrocarbon and ceramic (non teflon PCB) laminates designed for performance sensitive mass commercial applications.

Rogers RO4000 PCB is designed to provide excellent high frequency performance and low cost circuit manufacturing. The result is a low loss material that can be manufactured using the standard epoxy / glass (FR4) process.
