RO4003C 6-Layer Hybrid PCB with 1.10mm Thickness for RF & Automotive Radar System
(All PCBs are custom-manufactured. Reference images and parameters may vary based on your design requirements.)
1. Overview of RO4003C 6-Layer Hybrid PCB
This advanced 6-layer hybrid PCB combines Rogers RO4003C high-frequency laminates with High Tg 170°C FR-4 cores, engineered for high-performance RF and microwave applications. Designed for cellular base stations, automotive radar systems, and satellite communications, it delivers a stable dielectric constant (Dk=3.38±0.05 at 10 GHz) and ultra-low dissipation factor (0.0027), minimizing signal loss in demanding environments. With 50Ω impedance control on critical traces and ENIG surface finish, this board ensures reliable signal integrity while meeting IPC-Class-2 standards. Its hybrid stackup optimizes cost-efficiency without compromising RF performance, making it ideal for high-volume, mixed-signal designs.
