 Features and functions of Rogers RT5880 high-frequency PCB boards

Rogers RT5880 high-frequency boards, this series of laminates uses glass fiber reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene composite materials, whose microfibers are statistically directional, providing strong strength enhancement for circuit applications and production processes, making them suitable for high-reliability applications in aerospace and other fields, and providing the most valuable directional enhancement for circuit manufacturers and end-use applications.

Compared with similar materials on the market, Rogers RT/duroid 5880 high-frequency boards have the lowest dielectric constant. Measured under the 10GHz IPC-TM 2.5.5.5 standard, its dielectric constant is 2.20±0.02. At the same time, the dielectric loss of the board is measured under the same standard, which is only 0.0009. The extremely low dielectric loss makes it very suitable for high-frequency and wide-band applications that require minimization of dispersion and loss. Its highest supported frequency can reach Ku band or even higher frequencies. In addition, RT/duroid® 5880 has an extremely low moisture absorption rate of only 0.02%, which makes it a high humidity environment application that can maintain stable performance in high humidity environments.

RT/duroid® 5880 circuit material high-frequency boards also have excellent processing performance. They can be easily cut, drilled and processed to adapt to various complex shapes and designs in circuit boards. As a high-frequency laminate, RT/duroid 5880 can support electrodeposited copper thicknesses of 8~70um. Whether using common solvents and reagents, or etching or plating edges and through holes, these materials can show good tolerance and withstand high-temperature processing processes.

RT/duroid 5880 has the lowest dielectric loss among reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene materials, low moisture absorption, and its isotropy and electrical properties that vary little with frequency, which makes it suitable for commercial aviation telephone circuits, microstrip and stripline circuits, millimeter wave applications, military radar systems, missile guidance systems, and point-to-point digital radio antennas.

The characteristics of Rogers 5880 can be summarized as follows:

1. Extremely low dielectric constant, measured under 10GHz IPC-TM 2.5.5.5 standard, the dielectric constant is 2.20±0.02; supports the highest application signal frequency up to Ku band or even higher, with a moisture absorption rate as low as 0.02%; meets lead-free process standards;

2. Maintains consistent power characteristics over a wide frequency range;
