The Taconic TLC-27 PCB is a specialized high-frequency circuit board engineered for RF, microwave, and high-speed digital applications. Utilizing an advanced formulation of woven fiberglass and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this laminate provides a tightly controlled dielectric constant ($Dk = 2.75 \pm 0.05$) alongside a remarkably low dissipation factor ($Df = 0.0030$ at 1.9 GHz). Designed specifically for hardware engineers and product developers, this substrate offers an exceptional balance of electrical performance, dimensional stability, and cost efficiency for commercial wireless infrastructure.
Key Features
-
Controlled Dielectric Properties: Features a stable Dk of 2.75, ensuring predictable impedance matching across high-frequency bands.
-
Excellent Thermal Stability: Low Z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) ensures reliable plated through-hole (PTH) performance in fluctuating thermal environments.
-
High Peel Strength: Provides robust copper cladding adhesion ($>11 \text{ lbs/linear inch}$), essential for heavy copper options and repeated rework cycles.
-
Moisture Resistance: Extremely low moisture absorption rate ($<0.02\%$) maintains electrical integrity in humid operating conditions.
-
Flammaibility Rating: Fully compliant with UL 94 V-0 safety standards for flame retardancy.
Applications
-
Commercial Wireless Infrastructure: Base station antennas, cellular power amplifiers, and low-noise amplifiers (LNAs).
-
Satellite Communications: LNBs (Low Noise Blocks), consumer VSAT terminals, and transportable transceiver systems.
-
Automotive Radar: Short-range radar sensors and intelligent transport communication modules.
-
Industrial Electronics: High-frequency power splitters, couplers, filters, and RF identification (RFID) readers.
