Overview of RF-60A

RF-60A is an organic-ceramic laminate from the ORganic CERamic (ORCER) family of Taconic products. It incorporates woven glass reinforcement and is the result of Taconic's expertise in ceramic fill technology and coated PTFE fiberglass. RF-60A is known for its exceptional interlaminar bond strength and solder resistance, featuring a proprietary composition that ensures low moisture absorption and uniform electrical properties.



RF-60A's woven glass reinforcement provides excellent dimensional stability and enhances flexural strength. It has low Z-axis expansion, which ensures reliability for plated-through holes in extreme thermal environments. With a dielectric constant of approximately 6.15, RF-60A is ideal for high DK applications that require reduced circuit size and weight. Its low electrical loss factor makes it an excellent choice for RF circuits.



RF-60A laminates comply fully with RoHS and WEEE directives and are compatible with the temperatures required for new lead-free solders. They can be sheared, drilled, milled, and plated using standard methods for PTFE-woven fiberglass materials, facilitating mass production.



Benefits

Low Moisture Absorption: Reduces the risk of delamination and ensures stability.
Stable DK over Frequency: Maintains consistent dielectric properties across a range of frequencies.
Dimensionally Stable: Ensures reliable performance in various environments.
Low Z-axis Expansion: Enhances reliability for plated-through-hole applications.
High Flexural Strength: Provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress.
Exceptional Interlaminar Bonds: Guarantees strong connections within the laminate.
