RO3203

RO3203 is a PCB laminate that has high frequency and uses a PTFE substrate alongside ceramic-filled and reinforced woven fiberglass. The dielectric constant of 3.2 alongside a dissipation factor of 0.0016. With these features, RO3203 is seen to be suitable for high-frequency microwave applications. can also support leadless chip carriers and surface mount components.

It is important to note that PTFE plates of RO3203 are softer compared to other rigid plates and are highly prone to damage during handling and processing. That being said, make sure to take extra care when handling RO3203. Make sure to use nylon gloves, work on a completely clean and static-free area, and use appropriate leaded solders for RO3203.

With high frequency, RO3203 is commonly used for both commercial and military applications. To give you more idea about RO3203 applications, here are some RO3203 applications:

– Infrastructure for base stations
– Wireless communication patch antennas
– Automatic systems for avoiding automotive collisions
– Automotive GPS satellite antennas
– Wireless systems for telecommunication
– Satellites for direct broadcasts
– Systems for datalink on cables
– Remote meter readers
– Backplane di alimentazione
– Wireless and LMDS broadband

With its limitations come RO3203 advantages.
– Cost-Effective: Not as expensive compared to other RO materials, can make your design more cost-effective. They are easily used in mass production, allowing manufacturers to save costs.
– Ideal for Multi-later Epoxy fiberglass hybrid boards: The ideal RO material for multi-layer epoxy fiberglass hybrid boards. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion ensures that the board will have fewer problems with stress from temperature changes.
– High production yields: Also known to have high production yields. Boards are highly reliable and more consistent when it comes to board performance.
– Tolerates finer line etching: Compared to other RO materials, can tolerate finer line etching. This makes RO3203 ideal for applications that require intricate designs and precise electrical components.
