Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

What is the best material for high-frequency PCB applications?

The best material depends on the operating frequency, thermal requirements, and budget. Rogers and Taconic laminates are commonly preferred for low-loss RF and microwave applications due to their stable dielectric properties and excellent electrical performance.

What dielectric constant is suitable for RF PCB design?

High-frequency PCB materials typically range from Dk 2.2 to 10.2. Lower dielectric constants are often used for high-speed signal transmission and low-loss RF circuits.

Can special RF laminates be customized?

Yes. Customized laminate thickness, copper weight, dielectric constant, and special material configurations can be manufactured according to project specifications.

Why is low loss important in microwave PCB materials?

Low-loss materials reduce signal attenuation during high-frequency transmission, improving signal integrity, transmission efficiency, and overall system performance.

Do you support small-volume prototype orders?

Yes. Both prototype and mass production orders are supported, with stable inventory available throughout the year.
