Experience Superior Performance with Taconic RF-60TC High-Frequency PCBs
Elevate your high-frequency PCB designs with Taconic RF-60TC laminates, engineered for high-power RF and microwave applications. Featuring a ceramic-filled PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) laminate with a fiberglass substrate, RF-60TC delivers a dielectric constant (Dk) of 6.15, ensuring exceptional thermal management, low insertion loss, and enhanced antenna gain.
Designed to operate at lower temperatures and with improved dimensional stability, RF-60TC is perfect for miniaturized antennas, high-power amplifiers, and satellite applications. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and reliable plated through holes (PTH) make it ideal for multilayer PCB designs.
