PCB Stackup

The 2-layer rigid PCB stackup leverages the capabilities of TMM10i material for enhanced performance. The stackup includes:

Copper Layer 1: 35 μm (1oz), providing reliable conductivity.

Rogers TMM10i Core: 0.381mm (15mil), offering stable and isotropic dielectric properties.

Copper Layer 2: 35 μm (1oz), ensuring low-loss signal transmission.

What is Rogers TMM10i Laminate?

The TMM10i laminate is a ceramic-filled thermoset polymer composite designed for high-frequency and microwave applications. It features an isotropic dielectric constant (Dk), making it ideal for stripline and microstrip designs where uniform performance is essential. TMM10i offers the benefits of ceramic and PTFE laminates while maintaining the ease of processing associated with soft substrates.
