High-Performance TP980 RF PCB - 4.1mm Thick ENIG-Finished Board for Aerospace
1.Introduction
The TP980 represents a breakthrough in high-frequency PCB technology, specifically engineered for demanding aerospace and defense applications. As part of the innovative TP series, this ceramic-filled PPO resin material delivers:
Exceptional signal integrity with stable Dk (9.8±0.2) up to 10GHz
Minimal signal loss (0.0012 dissipation factor)
Extreme environment performance (-55°C to 150°C operational range)
Superior reliability with UL 94-V0 certification and near-zero moisture absorption (0.01%)
Unlike traditional FR-4 or PTFE boards, the fiberglass-free TP980 construction ensures consistent RF performance and enhanced mechanical stability for critical navigation and communication systems.
