RT/Duroid 5880 and RO4450F hybrid 4-Layer PCB with 3.0mm Thickness substrates and OSP Finish for Microstrip and Stripline Circuits

4-Layer PCB with RT/Duroid 5880 and RO4450F, 3.0mm Thickness, and OSP Finish

(All PCBs are custom-manufactured. Reference images and parameters may vary based on your design requirements.)

1. Overview of the 4-Layer PCB

This 4-layer PCB combines RT/duroid 5880 and RO4450F materials to deliver exceptional performance in high-frequency circuits. The RT/duroid 5880 core provides uniform dielectric constant, low dissipation factor, and excellent moisture resistance, while the RO4450F bonding ply ensures mechanical stability and durability. With a 2.2 dielectric constant (Dk) and low dissipation factor (Df) of 0.0009 at 10 GHz, this PCB ensures outstanding signal integrity.

The OSP finish is ideal for protecting copper surfaces and ensuring solderability during assembly. Designed with blind vias and strict IPC-Class-2 compliance, this PCB is built for reliability and performance in critical applications.
