Rogers PCB

Rogers PCB refers to printed circuit boards built with Rogers high-performance laminates (instead of conventional FR-4), designed for:

• High-frequency / microwave circuits

• High-speed and low-jitter digital transmission

• High-reliability electronics that face thermal cycling, humidity, or harsh environments

Key Advantages (Why Choose Rogers Materials)

1) Excellent Electrical Performance

• Stable Dielectric Constant (Dk): Minimal Dk variation across frequency and temperature helps maintain impedance and phase stability, especially in RF and high-frequency circuits.

• Extremely Low Dielectric Loss (Df): Lower loss than FR-4 reduces signal attenuation and improves high-frequency signal integrity, particularly in higher GHz ranges.

• Low Surface Roughness Options: Smoother copper foil surfaces help reduce conductor loss caused by skin effect, which becomes more important at millimeter-wave frequencies.

2) Thermal Stability & Reliability

• Low CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion): Better CTE matching (especially with copper) reduces risk of via / hole wall stress during temperature cycling—important for multilayer reliability.

• High Tg Options: Some Rogers materials support high-temperature processing (including lead-free assembly conditions).

• High Temperature & Chemical Resistance: Suitable for demanding environments such as automotive electronics and aerospace-related designs.

3) Mechanical Properties & Process Adaptability

• High Dimensional Stability: Low moisture absorption improves stability under humidity and helps reduce deformation during processing and soldering.

• Process Compatibility: Rogers materials can be used in hybrid stackups with FR-4 to balance performance and cost (common for RF + control mixed designs).

Typical Applications

• High-Frequency Communication: 5G base stations/antennas, satellite communication, RF modules

• Automotive Radar: 77GHz millimeter-wave radar

• Aerospace / Defense: Phased array radar, electronic warfare systems

• High-Speed Digital: Optical modules (100G and above), server/networking boards

Common Rogers Material Options (We Support Multiple Series)

We can manufacture Rogers PCBs using commonly selected Rogers material families such as:

• RO4000 Series: Glass-fiber reinforced, strong cost-performance for commercial high-frequency PCBs

• RO3000 Series: Ceramic-filled, very low loss for millimeter-wave applications

• RT/duroid Series: PTFE-based ultra-low loss substrates for advanced RF designs

• TMM Series: High thermal conductivity + low loss + high thermal stability, built for high-performance needs

(Final selection depends on frequency band, loss target, stackup, and fabrication constraints.)

Considerations / Limitations (What Buyers Should Know)

• Higher material cost than FR-4: Rogers laminates are typically significantly more expensive than standard FR-4.

• More demanding fabrication control: Processing can require tighter control for drilling, etching, and lamination.

• Hybrid stackup needs planning: If mixing Rogers + FR-4, CTE matching and stack design must be handled carefully to protect reliability.

Benlida Manufacturing Support (What You Get)
