RF Assembly FAQ
What is the maximum frequency you can assemble for?
We can assemble RF boards operating up to 77GHz for mm-wave applications. Our precision placement equipment and low-loss material handling ensure reliable performance at these frequencies.
Do you work with Rogers materials?
Yes, we have extensive experience with Rogers substrates (RO4003C, RO4350B, RO5880) and other RF-grade laminates. We use appropriate reflow profiles to prevent delamination of these special materials.
