Taconic TLX-9 2-Layer 0.3mm EPIG (Nickel-Free) PCB – Low Dk RF Applications1. Introduction to Taconic TLX-9 PCB TLX-9 is a composite of PTFE/woven glass laminates with exceptionally well controlled electrical and mechanical properties. TLX-9 laminates can be sheared, drilled, milled and plated using standard methods for PTFE/woven fiberglass materials. The laminates are dimensionally stable, and exhibit virtually no moisture absorption during fabrication processes. TLX-9 measured 2.5 Dk with tightly controlled across a broad frequency range and temperature spectrum. The dissipation factor is approximately 0.0019 when measured at 10 GHz. TLX-9 meets stringent flammability standards, achieving a UL 94 V-0 certification for flame retardancy. This 2-layer rigid PCB is constructed entirely with Taconic TLX-9 as the core material, making it ideal for LNAs, LNBs, LNCs, PCS/PCN large format antennas, high power amplifiers, and passive components.

Taconic TLX-9 PTFE/Woven Glass Laminate – Product Introduction Taconic has over 35 years of experience coating fiberglass fabric with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). This enables Taconic to manufacture copper clad PTFE/woven glass laminates with exceptionally well controlled electrical and mechanical properties. The dielectric constant (Dk) range is 2.45 to 2.65. The Dk can be specified anywhere within this range with a tolerance of ±0.04. The dissipation factor is approximately 0.0019 when measured at 10 GHz. TLX laminates can be sheared, drilled, milled and plated using standard methods for PTFE/woven fiberglass materials. The laminates are dimensionally stable, and exhibit virtually no moisture absorption during fabrication processes. TLX laminates are generally ordered clad on one or both sides with 1/2, 1, or 2 oz. electrodeposited copper. Contact customer service for alternate claddings. TLX laminates are tested in accordance with IPC-TM 650. A Certificate of Compliance containing actual test data accompanies each shipment.
