The Taconic TSM-DS3 PCB laminate is an advanced, industry-standard substrate engineered for high-frequency RF, microwave, and mmWave 5G printed circuit boards. Designed for hardware engineers and product developers who require ultra-low signal loss, this dimensionally stable material ensures optimal impedance control across complex multi-layer configurations. By providing exceptional thermal conductivity and a low dissipation factor, it bridges the gap between demanding electrical performance and reliable mechanical manufacturability.
Key Features of Taconic TSM-DS3 PCB Materials
-
Dielectric Constant (Dk): Stable $3.0 \pm 0.04$ at 10 GHz, ensuring predictable impedance in high-frequency environments.
-
Dissipation Factor (Df): Ultra-low loss tangent of 0.0011 at 10 GHz to minimize signal attenuation.
-
Thermal Conductivity: High thermal performance ($0.63 \text{ W/m}\cdot\text{K}$) for superior heat dissipation in high-power RF designs.
-
Low Moisture Absorption: Less than 0.02% absorption rate, maintaining electrical integrity in humid operating conditions.
-
Dimensional Stability: Excellent $X, Y,$ and $Z$-axis CTE properties, ensuring reliable plated through-hole (PTH) reliability during lead-free solder reflow.
High-Frequency Applications
-
Telecommunications: 5G base stations, mmWave antennas, power amplifiers, and backhaul communication systems.
-
Automotive Radar: 77 GHz to 79 GHz Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle sensors.
-
Aerospace & Defence: Phase-array radar systems, satellite communications (SATCOM), and guidance electronics.
-
High-Speed Digital: Low-loss backplanes and high-speed data switching infrastructure.
