(Printed Circuit Boards are custom-made products; the images and parameters shown are for reference only.)


Introduction

The Taconic TLX-8 PCB is designed for reliability across a broad spectrum of RF applications. This versatile material features a dielectric constant (DK) range of 2.45 to 2.65, available in various thicknesses and copper cladding options. It is particularly suitable for low layer count microwave designs.


Material Overview

The TLX-8 PCB is constructed from PTFE-based fiberglass laminate, making it ideal for radar systems,mobile communications,microwave test equipment,microwave transmission devices,RF components.


Performance Features

TLX-8 serves as a robust solution in the RF microwave substrate market. Its fiberglass provides essential mechanical reinforcement in extreme environments, including:

  • High vibration resistance for PCBs mounted in housings during space launches
  • High-temperature exposure in engine modules
  • Radiation resistance for space applications
  • Antennas for naval vessels facing harsh maritime conditions
  • Substrates for altimeters that operate under varying temperatures during flight

TLX Family Overview

The TLX family includes various options:

  • TLX-0 (DK 2.45)
  • TLX-9 (DK 2.50)
  • TLX-8 (DK 2.55)
  • TLX-7 (DK 2.60)
  • TLX-6 (DK 2.65)

Dielectric thicknesses are as follows:

The TLX family includes several variants:

  • TLX-0 (DK 2.45)
  • TLX-9 (DK 2.50)
  • TLX-8 (DK 2.55)
  • TLX-7 (DK 2.60)
  • TLX-6 (DK 2.65)

Dielectric thicknesses are as follows:

  • TLX-0: 0.127mm to 6.35mm (5mil - 250mil)
  • TLX-9: 0.05mm to 6.35mm (2mil - 250mil)
  • TLX-8: 0.064mm to 6.35mm (2.5mil - 250mil)
  • TLX-7: 0.089mm to 6.35mm (3.5mil - 250mil)
  • TLX-6: 0.089mm to 6.35mm (3.5mil - 250mil)
