The Taconic CER-10 PCB is a premium organic-ceramic laminate designed specifically for high-frequency RF applications requiring extreme circuit miniaturisation. Engineered by integrating ceramic fillers into a woven glass reinforcement, this substrate provides an exceptionally high dielectric constant (Dk 10.0 +/- 0.5 at 1.9 GHz). This characteristics makes it the go-to choice for RF engineers, product developers, and procurement managers who need to scale down patch antennas, filters, and couplers while maintaining robust mechanical and thermal integrity.
Key Features
-
High Dielectric Constant: Dk of 10.0 allows for significant circuit downsizing compared to traditional PTFE materials.
-
Low Loss Tangent: Dissipation factor (Df) of 0.0035 at 1.9 GHz ensures excellent signal integrity in microwave frequencies.
-
Thermal and Dimensional Stability: Low Z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) ensures plated through-hole (PTH) reliability under thermal cycling.
-
Excellent Moisture Resistance: Low water absorption rating below 0.02% maintains stable electrical properties in humid environments.
-
Flexible Solder Mask Options: Compatible with various surface finishes including ENIG, ENEPIG, and Immersion Silver to match your assembly demands.
Applications
-
Compact Antennas: Perfect for patch antennas, satellite communications, and GPS receivers where real estate is limited.
-
Passive RF Components: Power dividers, couplers, filters, and combiners requiring precise impedance matching.
-
Amplifier Systems: Power amplifiers and low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) in commercial wireless infrastructure.
-
Defense and Aerospace: High-reliability radar and guidance systems that demand robust organic-ceramic materials.
