The Taconic RF-35TC PCB is a high-performance, thermally enhanced RF laminate engineered specifically for demanding high-power RF, microwave, and power amplifier applications. Fabricated with a unique filled PTFE and woven fiberglass composition, this substrate bridges the gap between high power handling and exceptional electrical stability. It is an ideal choice for hardware developers and RF engineers who need to mitigate thermal hotspots without compromising signal integrity in high-frequency designs.
Key Features of Taconic RF-35TC PCB
-
Enhanced Thermal Conductivity: Offers a thermal conductivity of $0.93 \text{ W/mK}$, which is nearly double that of standard PTFE laminates, significantly improving heat dissipation.
-
Low Dissipation Factor: A dissipation factor ($\tan \delta$) of $0.0014 \text{ at } 1.9 \text{ GHz}$ ensures ultra-low insertion loss for high-efficiency signal transmission.
-
Stable Dielectric Constant: Features a nominal Dielectric Constant ($D_k$) of $3.5$, maintaining tight tolerance controls across variable operating temperatures.
-
Low CTE Performance: Excellent Z-axis Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) ensures highly reliable plated through-hole (PTH) reliability in thermal cycling environments.
-
Peel Strength: High copper peel strength supports robust fine-line trace adhesion even under heavy thermal loads.
Applications
-
Telecommunications: Base station power amplifiers, cellular antennas, and small cell transmission modules.
-
Aerospace & Defence: High-power radar systems, satellite communication (SATCOM) transceivers, and electronic warfare components.
-
Industrial Wireless: High-frequency heating elements, industrial sensors, and high-power RF transmitters.
