Rogers RO5880 PCB

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

Dielectric constant (Dk): 2.20 ± 0.02

This parameter indicates that RT/duroid® 5880 has one of the lowest dielectric constants among similar materials, helping to reduce delays in signal transmission and improve circuit performance.

Dissipation Factor (Df): 0.0009 @ 10GHz

A low loss factor means the material has very little signal loss in high-frequency applications, which is critical to maintaining signal integrity.

Moisture absorption rate: as low as 0.02%

The extremely low moisture absorption rate makes RT/duroid® 5880 very suitable for use in high humidity environments, maintaining circuit reliability.

Isotropic:

The material's electrical properties remain consistent in all directions, which is important for accurate circuit design and manufacturing.

Processing Performance:

RT/duroid® 5880 is easy to cut and form to accommodate the specific PCB shape requirements in high frequency applications.

Chemical Resistance:

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

Supported Frequency Range:

The signal frequency that can be supported can reach Ku band or even higher, 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:

For RT/duroid® 5880LZ laminate, the density is low at 1.4 gm/cm³, which makes it advantageous in applications where circuit weight is sensitive.

Electrodeposited Copper Compatibility:
