Hello, thanks for reaching us!
FR4 and Rogers PCBs differ in their applications and thermal management. Rogers PCBs have a thermal conductivity of 0.5-0.95 W/mK, making heat management easier during manufacturing and assembly. FR4 is less expensive and more commonly used for this reason, however, it also has a higher dissipation factor which results in greater signal loss.
FR4 is suitable for lower frequencies, while Rogers is better for high frequencies above 500 MHz. Rogers is ideal for extreme environments due to low moisture absorption. FR4 has a dielectric constant of 4.5, while Rogers ranges from 2.5 to 11.
Overall, the choice between FR4 and Rogers PCBs depends on your specific application and requirements.
Kindly let us know if you have any other questions, we'd be happy to help!

FR-4 is the most popular substrate material for rigid PCBs. It has pretty good dielectric properties and it is very basic material to start with in PCB design. Provides strength to PCB and very cost effective.

Rogers PCBs have excellent dielectric properties and minimal resistance. They are generally used in high-speed, high-frequency circuitry applications.
