Rogers Corporation Introduces RO4460G2 Bondply
February 7, 2018 | Rogers CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rogers Corporation is pleased to introduce RO4460G2, a low loss bondply with a 6.15 dielectric constant (Dk). RO4000 thermoset high performance bonding layers have long been used by circuit designers for multilayer board constructions using Rogers high frequency and high speed digital materials where operating frequency, dielectric constant, or high-speed signal requirements dictate the need for high performance materials. The introduction of RO4460G2 bondply now provides designers a 0.004” (0.101 mm) bonding layer that complements the already released RO4360G2 low loss, glass-reinforced 6.15 Dk copper clad thermoset laminates.
RO4460G2 bondply exhibits excellent Dk control for repeatable electrical performance, a low z axis expansion for plated through hole reliability, and thermoset bond temperatures compatible with standard epoxy/glass (FR-4) processes. RO4460G2 bondply is an excellent choice for multilayer designs requiring sequential laminations, as fully cured RO4400 bondplies are capable of withstanding multiple lamination cycles. Each of the RO4400 bondplies have the UL V-0 flame retardant rating, and are compatible with lead-free processes.

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
