(Printed Circuit Boards are custom-made products, the picture and parameters shown are just for reference)

TLX High-Frequency PCB Overview

TLX is renowned for its reliability in a variety of RF applications. This versatile material features a dielectric constant (DK) range of 2.45 to 2.65 and is available in multiple thicknesses and copper cladding options, making it ideal for low layer count microwave designs.

Material Properties

TLX is a PTFE-based fiberglass laminate, suitable for applications such as:

Radar systems
Mobile communications
Microwave test equipment
Microwave transmission devices
RF components

Mechanical Reinforcement

TLX serves as a robust substrate in the RF microwave world, where fiberglass provides essential mechanical reinforcement. It performs well in severe environments, including:

Resistance to creep for PCBs attached to housings that experience high vibrations during space launches.
High temperature exposure in engine modules.
Radiation resistance in space applications.
Antennas for warships that endure extreme sea conditions.
Substrates for altimeters that experience a wide temperature range during flight.
