Product Highlights

RT/duroid® 6035HTC high frequency circuit materials are ceramic filled PTFE composites for use in high power RF and microwave applications. With a thermal conductivity of almost 2.4 times the standard RT/duroid 6000 products, and copper foil (electrodeposited and reverse treat) with excellent long term thermal stability, RT/ duroid 6035HTC laminates are an exceptional choice for high power applications. Rogers advanced filler system enables excellent drill ability, reducing drilling costs as compared to standard high thermally conductive laminates which use alumina fillers.
