ROGERS CORP TO FEATURE R/FLEX3000 FAMILY OF LCP AT RF & HYPER 2005
09 March 2005 - Rogers Corporation
| Rogers Corporation will be showcasing its R/flex 3000 family of Liquid Crystalline Polymer (LCP) based circuit materials at this year’s RF & Hyper Exhibition. Rogers will be exhibiting at the show with its French agent/distributor MB Electronique. |
Complementing the R/flex 3600 LCP single-clad laminate, the new R/flex 3850
double-clad laminate offers a low dielectric constant (Dk = 2.9) for controlled impedance combined with excellent dimensional stability for dense fine-line applications. R/flex 3850 laminate is produced in a range of copper and film thicknesses, just as the single-clad laminate, and is available in standard panel formats. Rogers’ new R/flex 3000 family of materials now includes a single-clad lower melt point and a double-clad high melt temperature laminate. These materials offer a unique combination of mechanical, electrical, thermal, and environmental properties for tightly controlled impedance flex interconnections, next-generation wireless handsets, high-density flip-chip packages and moisture-resistant sensors. Other products to be highlighted at the exhibition include:
* RT/duroid 6202 Material An addition toRogers’ traditional microwave laminates, this material provides the key feature of improved dimensional stability while supporting the highest performance requirements for the most demanding applications for frequencies of 3GHz to over 90 GHz. Its other key properties include superior electrical characteristics and highly predictable performance.
* RO4000® Series High Frequency Circuit Material is a glass-reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramic thermoset laminate system designed for performance sensitive, high volume commercial applications. These laminates and prepregs are designed to offer superior high frequency performance and low cost circuit fabrication. The result is a low loss material, which can be fabricated using standard epoxy/glass (FR4)processes.
Rogers’ specialty materials are offered worldwide through an extensive network of technical sales offices. Based in Rogers, CT, the corporation manufactures and markets specialty polymer and electronic materials for targeted applications, focusing on communication and computer markets.
