We are pleased to introduce our newly shipped 2-layer printed circuit board (PCB) featuring RF-10 copper clad laminates. Engineered for high-frequency applications, RF-10 combines ceramic-filled PTFE and woven fiberglass to deliver a cost-effective substrate with exceptional electrical and thermal performance.
Key Features
The RF-10 material boasts a dielectric constant of 10.2 ± 0.3 at 10 GHz and a low dissipation factor of 0.0025, making it ideal for RF circuit size reduction. Its high thermal conductivity of 0.85 W/mK ensures effective thermal management, while its tight dimensional tolerances enhance stability in multilayer circuits. The material is also resistant to moisture (0.08% absorption) and has a flammability rating of V-0, ensuring safety and reliability.
