Rogers Corporation has launched new RO4360G2 high-frequency laminate material with improved thermal reliability that will help fabricators achieve higher UL MOTs (thermal ageing performance). With a high Dk of 6,15 @ 10 GHz, this new material allows next-generation power amplifier designers to meet size and cost reduction targets.
RO4360G2 laminates process similar to FR-4, are automated assembly compatible, and offer the same reliability and repeatability as the prior-generation RO4350B material.
UL 94V-0 flame rating (pending) and fully lead-free process capable, the new laminates boast thermal conductivity of 0,81 W/m/K for improved reliability, a low Z-axis CTE for reliable plated through holes, and drill performance as good as or better than RO4350B laminates.
Typical applications for RO4360G2 laminates are power amplifiers, LNAs, RF components (combiners/splitters), patch antennas and as a replacement material for designs previously employing LTCC (low temperature, co-fired ceramic).
