RF-10 PCB 60mil 2-Layer Immersion Silver Circuits

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.

PCB Specifications

This PCB features a well-structured stackup, consisting of:

- Copper Layer 1: 35 μm (1 oz)
- RF-10 Core: 60 mil (1.524 mm)
- Copper Layer 2: 35 μm (1 oz)

The overall dimensions of this PCB are 40 mm x 40 mm ± 0.15 mm, with a finished thickness of 1.6 mm. The PCB supports a minimum trace/space of 7/8 mils and a minimum hole size of 0.4 mm. It includes 1 oz finished copper weight on both outer layers and a via plating thickness of 20 μm.

For surface finish, it utilizes immersion silver, complemented by a black solder mask on the top side. A white silkscreen is applied for clear labeling, while the bottom side remains without a silkscreen or solder mask. Each PCB undergoes 100% electrical testing prior to shipment to ensure high quality and performance.

Applications

This versatile PCB is suitable for a variety of applications, including:

- Microstrip Patch Antennas
- GPS Antennas
- Passive Components (filters, couplers, power dividers)
- Aircraft Collision Avoidance Systems
- Satellite Components

Quality Assurance and Availability

It meets IPC-Class 2 standards, this PCB is available for worldwide shipping. The artwork is supplied in Gerber RS-274-X format, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB design processes.

With RF-10, you gain a reliable and high-performance PCB solution tailored for your advanced RF applications.
