Hello everyone,

Welcome back to our channel. Today, we’re going to talk about Rogers’ RT/duroid 6006 high frequency PCB.

RT/duroid 6006 high frequency PCBs are ceramic-PTFE composites which are designed for electronic and microwave circuit applications requiring a high dielectric constant.

RT/duroid 6006 PCB can provide us with high dielectric constant which is helpful to enable circuit size reduction. With low loss property, it is ideal for operating at X-band or below. Additionally, the tight Dk and thickness control deliver repeatable circuit performance.

Now let’s look at the data sheet of RT/duroid 6006 laminates.

The first one is dielectric constant. It’s available with value of 6.15 at 10GHz with tolerance +/-0.15. The second parameter is dissipation factor. It’s available with a low value of 0.0027 at 10GHz. This is a very low value.

The next is thermal coefficient of dielectric constant (TCDk), the value is -410 ppm/℃, we know the absolute value is very high. That is to say RT/duroid 6006 is not suitable for millimeter wave area and the environments that temperature changes a lot.

Then Moisture absorption.

Moisture absorption is the total weight of the circuit board material absorbing external water, which is measured in percentage. At higher frequencies the smaller the better, with a typical value of between 0.1% and 0.2%. The water absorption of RT/duroid 6006 performs as low as 0.05%.

Thermal conductivity is 0.49 W/m/K. CTE in X and Y axis is good, Z-direction looks like a little bit higher. Decomposition temperature performs good at 500℃ with thermogravimetric analysis.

RT/duroid 6006 has a density of 2.7 g/cm³, a specific heat capacity of 0.97 J/g/K and copper peel of 14.3 pli.

Finally, RT/duroid 6006 material is flame resistant with UL94-V0 grade and environmently friendly.

For RT/duroid 6006 PCBs, we can provide you with single layer board, double layer board, multi-layer board and hybrid types.

RT/duroid 6006 PCBs have wide thickness. These are the standard thickness such as 10 mils, 25 mils, 50 mils and 75mils etc. Finished copper on PCB is 1oz and 2oz.

Our maximum PCB size on RT/duroid 6006 laminate is 400mm by 500mm, it can be a single board in the sheet and also can be different designs in this panel.

Solder mask of green, black, blue and yellow etc is available in house. There’s immersion gold, HASL, immersion silver, immersion tin, bare copper and OSP etc. for pads protection.

We can also see their applications in aircraft collision avoidance systems, ground radar warning systems and satellite communications systems etc.

Thanks for your reading.
