AD255C High Frequency PCB Manufacturer – RF & Microwave PCB Fabrication

Build high-performance RF PCBs with Rogers AD255C for 5G, radar, antennas & microwave. Highleap Electronics provides expert fabrication & assembly services.

Key Benefits of Using AD255C in RF and Microwave PCBs

At Highleap Electronics, we specialize in PCB manufacturing and assembly using premium RF materials like Rogers AD255C—a ceramic-filled PTFE laminate engineered for high-frequency performance. Whether you’re developing RF front-end modules, base station antennas, or satellite links, AD255C delivers the dielectric stability, low dissipation factor, and thermal reliability needed to maintain signal integrity at GHz-level frequencies.

Key Features of AD255C:

• Stable dielectric constant (Dk ≈ 2.55) across wide bandwidths
• Extremely low dissipation factor (Df ≈ 0.0013) at 10 GHz
• Excellent dimensional stability under thermal cycling
• Outstanding passive intermodulation (PIM) performance
• Compatible with mixed dielectric stackups and multilayer processing

Notes:

• Typical values are a representation of an average value for the population of the property. For specification values contact Rogers Corp.
• PIM Performance is heavily influenced by the copper choice. PIM values provided are typical values based on testing of the S1 foil using Rogers’ internal test method on 0.030” thick and 0.060” thick laminates.
• Rogers recommends the customer evaluate each material and design combination to determine fitness for use over the entire life of the end product
• At Highleap Electronics, we help customers simulate, prototype, and mass-produce RF/microwave PCBs with genuine Rogers AD255C. From material sourcing to stackup design, impedance control, and assembly—we offer full technical support for your RF success.

Design & Manufacturing Guidelines for AD255C PCB Laminates

AD255C offers exceptional electrical and thermal performance, but to maximize its advantages in real-world designs, careful attention to processing is essential. Based on Rogers’ fabrication recommendations and our production expertise, here are a few best practices:

PCB Design Tips for AD255C:

• Use design Dk (2.55) for accurate impedance modeling
• Avoid aggressive mechanical brushing; use chemical cleaning methods
• Plasma treatment (CF4/O2) preferred before PTH for better adhesion
• Pre-bake cores at 110–125°C for 30 minutes before lamination
• Choose compatible bonding films (e.g., RO4400, FEP) for multilayers
• Avoid stacking more than 5 cartons of laminate during storage
• Always use high-quality, sharp carbide drill bits with controlled feed/speed

Our engineers can help evaluate stackup combinations and ensure DFM compatibility before production begins. Simply share your Gerber files or build spec with our team for a free review.
