High powered RF part for improved manufacturability

Abstract:

An electrical component, such as an RF device or thermal bridge, for use with a printed circuit board. The component has a first dielectric layer having a top and a bottom, a first conductive trace positioned on the bottom of the dielectric layer, and a first ground layer positioned on the bottom of the dielectric layer and spaced apart from the first conductive trace. For RF applications, a second conductive trace is positioned on top of first dielectric, a second dielectric is positioned on top of the second conductive trace, and a second ground plane is positioned on top of the second dielectric. A printed circuit board having a third conductive trace may then be coupled to the first conductive trace by a first solder layer.
