Rogers PCB
Many people have heard of Rogers PCB, but they don’t know what Rogers PCB is, its specific characteristics and its applicable range.
Today I will tell you about Rogers PCB as I understand it.

Rogers PCB board material is a high-frequency board model produced by Rogers Company. It is different from conventional PCB board epoxy resin. Rogers PCB does not have glass fiber in the middle and is a ceramic-based high-frequency material.

The difference between Rogers material and FR-4 material

1. Compared with FR-4 materials, Rogers materials are more expensive;

2. Compared with FR-4 materials, Rogers PCB materials have a lower dissipation factor (DF), so the signal loss is smaller;

3. Compared with FR-4 materials, Rogers PCB materials have a wider Dk (dielectric constant) range than FR-4 materials, and therefore have higher impedance stability;

4. Compared with FR-4 materials, Rogers PCB has extremely low water absorption, making it an ideal choice for applications in high-humidity environments;

5. Compared with FR-4 materials, Rogers PCB materials also improve impedance control in a better way;

6. Compared with FR-4 materials, Rogers PCB materials have better thermal management. In high-speed applications, the PCB generates a lot of heat, which must be handled by a good thermal management system, and FR4 PCBs cannot handle high temperatures.

Why choose Rogers PCB

With the rapid development of 5G technology, more and more devices require high-performance high-frequency PCBs and RF PCBs, and these PCBs require low signal loss and low electrical noise.

Rogers Substrate PCB is the most stable material in the industry. Based on overall performance, Rogers High Frequency PCB performed well. FR4 PCB is best suited for the best environments in low and medium frequency applications. They are rugged, have an excellent balance of electrical stability, and can be easily manufactured in almost all existing processes in the PCB industry. Roger high-frequency PCBs are suitable for high-quality performance in niche areas such as space applications. Temperature constancy and low outgassing properties make them an excellent choice for critical applications such as space and aerodynamics.
