We are excited to introduce our newly shipped PCB: the RF-60TC PCB. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of RF and microwave applications, the RF-60TC PCB sets a new standard in high-frequency technology.

Key Features of RF-60TC PCBs

The RF-60TC PCB is constructed from a unique ceramic-filled, glass-reinforced PTFE laminate, providing numerous advantages over traditional materials. Key features include:

- High Thermal Conductivity: With thermal conductivity values up to 1.05 W/M*K (1 oz copper), the RF-60TC efficiently dissipates heat, crucial for maintaining performance in high power applications.

- Dielectric Constant of 6.15: At 10 GHz, this characteristic ensures excellent signal integrity and minimal signal loss.

- Low Dissipation Factor: A low dissipation factor of 0.002 at 10 GHz/23°C enhances efficiency, particularly in high-gain applications.

Thermal Conductivity and Its Importance

Effective thermal management is vital in high-frequency applications. The RF-60TC PCB's superior thermal conductivity enables lower operating temperatures, extending the lifespan of active components and improving long-term reliability. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where heat buildup can compromise performance.

Dielectric Properties That Enhance Performance

The RF-60TC PCB boasts excellent dielectric properties, including a stable dielectric constant over frequency and temperature. With a thermal coefficient of dielectric constant (Dk) of -3.58 ppm/°C, the RF-60TC maintains signal integrity across a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for diverse operational conditions.

Dimensional Stability for Complex Designs

One of the standout features of the RF-60TC PCB is its dimensional stability, with low thermal coefficients of expansion (CTE) of 9.9 ppm/°C (X/Y axis) and 40 ppm/°C (Z axis). This stability is essential for building high-layer count multilayer PCBs, ensuring reliable plated through hole connections and maintaining performance integrity throughout the PCB's lifespan.

Rigorous Quality Assurance Standards

At Bicheng, quality assurance is paramount. Each PCB from us undergoes comprehensive 100% electrical testing before shipment, adhering to IPC-Class-2 standards. This rigorous testing ensures that every PCB meets high-performance expectations, providing confidence to engineers and designers.
