1. Introduction to RT/duroid 6202 High Frequency PCB

Rogers RT/duroid 6202 high frequency circuit materials are low loss and low dielectric constant laminates with limited woven glass reinforcement. It offers electrical and mechanical properties essential in designing complex microwave structures that are mechanically reliable and electrically stable. Excellent dimensional stability (0.05 to 0.07 mils/inch) is achieved by the addition of limited woven glass reinforcement. This often eliminates double etching to achieve tight positional tolerances.

Applications particularly suited to the unique properties of RT/duroid 6202 material include flat and non-planar structures such as antennas and complex multilayer circuits with interlayer components.

This 2-layer rigid PCB is constructed with RT/duroid 6202 as the core material at 20mil (0.508mm) thickness, with ENIG surface finish, green top solder mask, white top silkscreen, and 1oz copper on both sides. Its DK of 2.94 offers excellent high-frequency performance with low loss, making it ideal for demanding applications such as phased array antennas, ground based and airborne radar systems, GPS antennas, power backplanes, and beam forming networks.

1. Introduction to F4BTMS220 High Frequency PCB

The F4BTMS series is an upgraded version of the F4BTM series. It has achieved a technological breakthrough in material formulation and manufacturing processes. The material has been enriched with a significant amount of ceramics and reinforced with ultra-thin and ultra-fine glass fiber cloth, resulting in substantial improvements in material performance and a broader range of dielectric constants. It is a high-reliability material suitable for aerospace applications and can replace similar foreign products.

By incorporating a small amount of ultra-thin and ultra-fine glass fiber cloth and a large amount of uniformly distributed special nano-ceramics mixed with polytetrafluoroethylene resin, the negative effects of glass fiber on electromagnetic wave propagation are minimized. This reduces dielectric loss, enhances dimensional stability, and decreases the X/Y/Z anisotropy of the material. It also increases the usable frequency range, improves electrical strength, and enhances thermal conductivity. Additionally, the material exhibits excellent low thermal expansion coefficient and stable dielectric temperature characteristics.

The F4BTMS series comes with RTF low roughness copper foil as a standard feature, which reduces conductor loss and provides excellent peel strength. It can be used with either copper or aluminum bases.

This 2-layer rigid PCB is constructed entirely with F4BTMS220 as the core material at 10mil (0.254mm) thickness, with immersion gold surface finish and 1oz RTF copper on both sides. Its DK of 2.2 offers excellent high-frequency performance, making it ideal for demanding applications such as aerospace equipment, microwave, RF, radar, military radar, phased array antennas, and satellite communications.

15. Data Source Notes

Dielectric Constant (Typical) is tested in the Z-direction of the material using GB/T 12636-1990 or IPC-TM-650 2.5.5.5 Stripline method.

Dielectric Constant (Design) is tested using the 50Ω Microstrip Line method, also in the Z-direction.

Other properties are tested using or referencing IPC-TM-650 or GBT4722-2017 standard test methods.

All test data are typical measurement values intended to assist customers in material selection. They do not constitute any express or implied warranty and do not guarantee performance in specific applications. Customers are responsible for verifying the suitability of Wangling materials for each application.
