Rogers 5880 Details:

Rogers RT/duroid® 5880 is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fiberglass reinforced material designed for high frequency circuit applications. Here are some key parameters and properties of the material:

Dielectric constant (Dk): 2.20 ± 0.02

The dielectric constant is a measure of a material's ability to respond to an electric field. RT/duroid® 5880 has a very low dielectric constant, which helps reduce signal delays in circuits and improve performance.

Dissipation Factor (Df): 0.0009 @ 10GHz

Dissipation factor is a measure of how much energy a material dissipates in an AC electric field, and the low dissipation factor of RT/duroid® 5880 makes it ideal for high-frequency applications.

Moisture absorption rate: as low as 0.02%

Low moisture absorption means that the material can still maintain good electrical properties in high humidity environments and is suitable for various climate conditions.

Isotropic:

The electrical properties of the material remain consistent in all directions, which is important for ensuring accuracy and repeatability in circuit design.

Processing Performance:

RT/duroid® 5880 laminate is easy to cut, shear and form for a variety of circuit board design shapes.

Chemical Resistance:

The material is resistant to solvents and reagents, whether cold or hot, used during etching or plating processes.

Application Frequency Range:

The supported signal frequencies can reach Ku band or even higher, making it suitable for high-frequency and wide-band applications.

Thermal Expansion Coefficient:

The Z-axis thermal expansion coefficient is 40 ppm/°C, which helps maintain the board’s dimensional stability under temperature changes.

density:

A low density of 1.4 gm/cm³ makes RT/duroid® 5880LZ laminate advantageous in applications where circuit weight is sensitive.

Lead-free Process Compatibility:

Meets lead-free process standards and meets the needs of modern electronic manufacturing.

Rogers 5880 Application Areas:

Suitable for commercial aviation telephone circuits, microstrip and stripline circuits, millimeter wave applications, military radar systems, missile guidance systems, point-to-point digital radio antennas, etc.

Mechanical Properties:

RT/duroid® 5880 laminate has high mechanical strength due to its glass fiber reinforced properties, which allows it to withstand various physical stresses that may be encountered during processing.

Temperature Resistance: 

The material can withstand certain temperature changes and is suitable for electronic equipment required to operate in a wide temperature range.

Electrical Stability: 

RT/duroid® 5880 laminate maintains consistent electrical characteristics over a wide frequency range, which is critical to ensuring the performance of high-frequency circuits.

Processing Adaptability: 

The material can adapt to the specific requirements for the shape of printed circuit boards in high-frequency applications and is easily processed into the required shape.

Electroplating Compatibility: 

RT/duroid® 5880 supports electrodeposited copper with a thickness of 8~70um, which provides the possibility to manufacture finer circuit features.

Due to its low moisture absorption, RT/duroid® 5880 laminate is suitable for use in high humidity environments, maintaining circuit reliability.
