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.
