What Is The Rogers RT duroid 6202PR Laminate?
RT duroid® 6202PR is a high frequency circuit material with low loss and a low dielectric constant. This laminate provides superior electrical and mechanical properties, making it essential for designing complex microwave structures that are both mechanically robust and electrically stable. It is particularly suited for planar resistor applications.
The RT duroid® 6202PR high frequency circuit material features ceramic-filled PTFE laminates specifically designed for RF and microwave applications. It exhibits exceptional thermal conductivity, with a Dk value of 2.90, nearly double that of standard RT duroid® 6000 products. Additionally, these laminates possess excellent drillability due to an advanced filler system.
Excellent dimensional stability (0.05 to 0.07 mils/inch) is achieved through the addition of limited woven glass reinforcement, enabling the manufacture of tight tolerance planar resistors.
Applications particularly suited to the unique properties of RT duroid® 6202PR include flat and non-planar structures such as antennas and complex multi-layer circuits with inter-layer connections.

Benefits of The Rogers RT duroid 6202PR Laminate
Low Loss and Low Dielectric Constant
With a dielectric constant (Dk) of approximately 2.90 at 10 GHz and ultra-low dissipation factor, this material minimizes signal loss and ensures efficient energy transfer, making it ideal for high-speed circuits and high-frequency circuits.
Excellent High-Frequency Performance
With superior electrical properties, these laminates support consistent performance across a wide range of frequencies. Stable electrical characteristics up to millimeter-wave frequencies enable reliable operation in radar, 5G, and satellite systems.
Extremely Low Thermal Coefficient of Dielectric Constant
Stability in varying temperature conditions ensures minimal signal distortion. The material’s Dk remains stable across a wide temperature range (-50°C to +150°C), critical for applications exposed to thermal cycling.
Tight Dielectric Constant and Thickness Controls
Tight tolerances (±0.04 for Dk ) ensure design consistency and reduce performance variability in multi-layer structures. The precise control over material properties results in high repeatability and predictable circuit performance.
Excellent Dimensional Stability
The in-plane expansion coefficient of RT duroid 6202PR is well-matched to copper, reducing warping and mechanical stress. An in-plane coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) matched to copper minimizes stress at the copper-clad interface, preventing delamination and warping.
Ideal for Temperature-Sensitive Applications
The material maintains performance under fluctuating thermal conditions, making it suitable for high-reliability applications. Its stability under thermal stress makes it suitable for harsh environments, such as airborne systems or outdoor infrastructure.
