FR4 介电常数表

标准 FR4 PCB 材料的频率特性

FR4 介电常数表

Use this reference chart to estimate how standard FR4 dielectric constant and dissipation factor shift with frequency before final impedance and material decisions.

在使用 FR4 设计高速或射频 PCB 时,必须了解 介电常数 (Dk, εr)耗散因数 (Df, 损耗角正切) 不是静态值。它们随频率变化,通常随着频率升高,Dk 降低而 Df 升高。请参考此图表作为标准 FR4 材料 (Tg 130-140°C) 的一般参考。

频率介电常数 (Dk)耗散因数 (Df)
1 MHz4.70.015
10 MHz4.60.018
100 MHz4.50.020
1 GHz4.350.022
2.5 GHz4.300.023
5 GHz4.250.025
10 GHz4.200.028
20 GHz4.150.030

These values are directional engineering reference data for standard FR4 only. Actual dielectric behavior depends on laminate family, resin system, glass style, copper profile, processing, and test method. Final controlled-impedance work should use exact material data from your PCB manufacturer.

When to use this tool

Impedance planning

Check whether your assumed dielectric constant is directionally reasonable before estimating controlled impedance and trace geometry.

High-speed and RF material screening

Use it to understand where standard FR4 starts to become a weak fit for loss-sensitive or higher-frequency routing.

Manufacturer discussion

Bring this into stackup discussions when you need to compare standard FR4 assumptions with real laminate data and fabrication capability.

Practical notes

• Standard FR4 can work for many digital and general-purpose boards, but it is not automatically the right material for every impedance-critical design.

• Dk shifts affect propagation speed and impedance; Df shifts affect insertion loss and signal attenuation.

• At higher frequencies, simplified assumptions become less reliable and material selection becomes more important.

为什么 Dk 很重要?

介电常数 (Dk) 决定了信号传播速度和走线的特性阻抗。 在较高频率下,较低的 Dk 会导致更快的信号速度。如果您假设 Dk 为恒定值 4.2,但在您的工作频率下它降至 4.0,那么您的阻抗计算将会有偏差,可能导致信号反射。

为什么 Df 很重要?

耗散因数 (Df) 代表介质材料中作为热量损耗的信号损失。 标准 FR4 的 Df 相对较高 (~0.02),不适合超高频应用(例如 >5GHz 长距离信号),在这些应用中,首选 Df < 0.005 的“低损耗”材料(如 Rogers 或 Megtron)。

常见问题解答

FR4 适合 5G 天线设计吗?

通常不适合。对于 5G 毫米波频率,标准 FR4 的信号损耗 (Df) 太高,且 Dk 稳定性差。您应该考虑专门的高频层压板。然而,对于 6GHz 以下频段,取决于走线长度,高性能 FR4 可能仍然可以接受。

温度会影响 Dk 吗?

是的。Dk 通常随温度升高而增加。如果您的设备在极端热环境下工作,一致的阻抗需要具有稳定“介电常数热系数”(TcDk) 的材料。
