The Taconic TLY-5 PCB 20mil low-Df phased array antenna board is a premier choice for high-frequency RF designs that demand exceptional signal integrity. Fabricated utilizing woven fiberglass-reinforced PTFE laminates, this substrate delivers a low dissipation factor ($D_f = 0.0009$ at 10 GHz) alongside a stable dielectric constant ($D_k = 2.20 \pm 0.02$). This ensures uniform electrical performance across wide frequency bands, preventing phase shifts and insertion losses in critical communications systems.
Key Features of Taconic TLY-5 PCB 20mil Substrates
-
Substrate Thickness: 20mil (approx. 0.51mm) core thickness for optimized weight and RF performance.
-
Low Dissipation Factor: $D_f$ of 0.0009 at 10 GHz minimizes signal attenuation in phased array systems.
-
Dielectric Constant Stability: Nominal $D_k$ of 2.20 with tight $\pm0.02$ tolerances for precise impedance control.
-
Low Moisture Absorption: Under 0.02% absorption rate ensures reliable performance in humid and high-altitude environments.
-
High Bond Strength: Robust copper cladding adhesion prevents delamination during thermal cycling and soldering.
-
Compliance Standards: Fabricated in accordance with IPC-Class 3 specifications and UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings.
