Taconic RF-60A 2-Layer 50mil Organic-Ceramic PCB with Pure Gold Plating

1.Introduction of Core

RF-60A is an organic-ceramic laminates in the ORCER family of Taconic products. It is based on woven glass reinforcement. RF-60A is a result of Taconic's expertise in both ceramic fill technology and in coated PTFE fiberglass.

RF-60A exhibits exceptional interlaminar bond strength and solder resistance. RF-60A's proprietary composition results in low moisture absorption and uniform electrical properties. RF-60A's woven glass reinforcement ensures excellent dimensional stability and enhances flexural strength. The RF-60A laminate exhibits low Z-axis expansion allowing for plated-through-hole reliability in extreme thermal environments.
