The Taconic TLE-95 PCB high-frequency laminate is a specialised, PTFE-based substrate designed for advanced RF, microwave, and high-speed digital applications. Engineers and procurement managers select this material for its exceptional electrical and mechanical stability in demanding thermal environments. By combining a tightly controlled dielectric constant ($D_k$) of 2.95 with low moisture absorption, this laminate ensures minimal signal degradation and uniform performance across broad frequency ranges.
Key Features
-
Controlled Dielectric Constant: Provides a stable $D_k$ of 2.95 ($\pm 0.05$) to ensure precise impedance matching and signal timing.
-
Low Dissipation Factor: Delivers an ultra-low loss tangent ($D_f$) of approximately 0.0028 at 10 GHz, critical for reducing signal attenuation.
-
Excellent Thermal Stability: Low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in the Z-axis minimizes stress on plated through-holes during thermal cycling.
-
Low Moisture Absorption: Features a moisture absorption rate below 0.02%, preventing performance shifts in humid operating conditions.
-
Standard Compliance: Fully compatible with standard multilayer PCB fabrication processes, including lead-free soldering and automated assembly.
Applications
-
Commercial and Military Radar: Used in advanced radar antennas and transceiver modules requiring low dielectric loss.
-
Satellite Communications (Satcom): Ideal for feed networks, low-noise blocks (LNBs), and ground station equipment.
-
Wireless Infrastructure: Supports 5G base stations, power amplifiers, and high-speed backhaul systems.
-
Automotive Electronics: Integrated into collision avoidance systems and cruise control radar sensors.
