Introduction
Wangling's TP High Frequency PCB is a cutting-edge solution in the high-frequency thermoplastic material industry. The dielectric layer of TP-type laminates is composed of a unique blend of ceramics and polyphenylene oxide resin (PPO), without fiberglass reinforcement. This allows for precise adjustment of the dielectric constant by altering the ratio between ceramics and PPO resin. The production process is specialized, ensuring exceptional dielectric performance and high reliability. TP refers to the smooth surface material without copper cladding, TP-1 has copper cladding on one side, and TP-2 has copper cladding on both sides.
Key Features
1.Adjustable Dielectric Constant: The dielectric constant can be customized within a range of 3 to 25, ensuring stability and meeting specific circuit requirements. Common dielectric constants include 3.0, 4.4, 6.0, 6.15, 9.2, 9.6, 10.2, 11, 16, and 20. The dielectric loss is low, with minimal changes up to 10 GHz.
2.Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -100°C to +150°C, with excellent low-temperature resistance. However, temperatures exceeding 180°C may cause material deformation, copper foil peeling, and significant changes in electrical performance.
3.Customizable Thickness: Available in various thicknesses, starting from 0.5mm, with options for customization.
4.Radiation Resistance and Low Outgassing: Ideal for applications requiring high reliability in harsh environments.
5.Ideal for High-Frequency Applications: Perfect for Beidou systems, missile-borne systems, fuzes, and miniaturized antennas.
6.Superior Adhesion and Machinability: The adhesion between copper foil and dielectric is more reliable than ceramic substrates with vacuum coating. The material is easy to machine, allowing for drilling, turning, grinding, shearing, and etching—processes that ceramic substrates cannot handle.
7.Cost-Effective PCB Processing: Suitable for thermoplastic material processing methods, resulting in high yield and reduced costs compared to ceramic substrates. Multilayer PCB processing is generally not recommended, but if required, low-temperature bonding sheets should be used, with careful consideration of feasibility.

TP PCB Applications
Shown here is a 1.5mm TP high-frequency PCB with OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative) coating. TP high-frequency PCBs are widely used in advanced applications such as Beidou systems, missile-borne systems, fuzes, and miniaturized antennas.
Important Considerations
This material is not suitable for 260°C thermal shock testing and cannot be wave soldered. Hand soldering with a constant temperature soldering iron is recommended. Reflow soldering is generally not advised, but if necessary, the maximum temperature should not exceed 200°C, with thorough consideration of feasibility and stability.
