Exploring the Impressive Properties of TMM4: A Thermoset Microwave Material for High-Frequency PCBs
Rogers TMM4 PCB is a composite material combining ceramic, hydrocarbon, and thermoset polymer properties, specifically designed for stripline and microstrip applications. It offers a unique blend of mechanical and chemical characteristics, incorporating the advantages of both ceramic and traditional PTFE materials. Notably, it is based on thermoset resins, ensuring reliable wire-bonding without the risk of pad lifting or substrate deformation.
Now, let's delve into the notable properties of TMM4 that make it an optimal choice for demanding applications.
Firstly, we have the Dielectric Constant of TMM4. At a process value of 4.5±0.045 at 10 GHz, it guarantees reliable signal transmission. During the design phase, the Dielectric Constant is set at 4.7, effectively covering a wide frequency range from 8 GHz to 40 GHz.
Next, we consider the Dissipation Factor, where TMM4 excels with a process value of 0.002 at 10 GHz, indicating minimal signal loss and enhanced overall performance.
Thermal stability is another impressive characteristic of TMM4, with a Thermal Coefficient of dielectric constant measuring +15 ppm/°K across a broad temperature range from -55°C to 125°C.
Moving on to electrical properties, TMM4 boasts an Insulation Resistance exceeding 2000 Gohm, ensuring reliable insulation performance. The Volume Resistivity is an impressive 6 x 10^8 Mohm.cm, while the Surface Resistivity stands at 1 x 10^9 Mohm.
Now, let's explore the thermal properties of TMM4. It exhibits a Decomposition Temperature (Td) of 425°C, ensuring stability and reliability even in high-temperature environments.
The Coefficient of Thermal Expansion is also noteworthy. Along the X and Y axes, it measures 16 ppm/K, while along the Z axis, it measures 21 ppm/K. This indicates that TMM4 can withstand temperature variations from 0°C to 140°C without significant dimensional changes.
Additionally, TMM4 showcases a Thermal Conductivity of 0.7 W/m/K at 80°C, allowing for efficient heat dissipation in electronic systems.
Moving on to its mechanical characteristics, TMM4 demonstrates remarkable strength. The Copper Peel Strength after Thermal Stress reaches an impressive 5.7 lb/inch (1.0 N/mm) in both the X and Y directions, even after solder float with 1 oz. EDC.
TMM4's Flexural Strength stands at 15.91 kpsi in both the MD (Machine Direction) and CMD (Cross-Machine Direction), ensuring structural integrity in demanding conditions. The Flexural Modulus for MD and CMD is 1.76 Mpsi, indicating excellent stiffness.
Furthermore, TMM4 exhibits desirable physical properties. Its Moisture Absorption is minimal, measuring only 0.07% for a 2X2 area at 1.27mm (0.050") thickness, and 0.18% at 3.18mm (0.125") thickness.
The Specific Gravity of TMM4 is 2.07, providing a lightweight solution without compromising performance. Additionally, its Specific Heat Capacity is 0.83 J/g/K, contributing to efficient thermal management.
Last but not least, TMM4 is Lead-Free Process Compatible, ensuring compliance with industry standards and environmental regulations.
