Introduction to TLX-9 PCB

The Taconic TLX-9 high frequency PCB is engineered for reliability across various 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. It is particularly suited for low layer count microwave designs.


Material Properties

The TLX-9 PCB is made from a PTFE-based fiberglass laminate, making it ideal for demanding applications such as:

  • Radar Systems
  • Mobile Communications
  • Microwave Test Equipment
  • Microwave Transmission Devices
  • RF Components

Performance in Extreme Conditions

The TLX-9 serves as a robust substrate in the RF microwave sector, providing mechanical reinforcement in severe environments. It offers durability against:

  • Vibration during Space Launches
  • High Temperature Exposure in Engine Modules
  • Radiation Resistance in Space Applications
  • Extreme Marine Conditions for Antennas
  • Temperature Variations in Altimeters

TLX Family Overview

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 Thickness Ranges

  • 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)
