Taconic TLX-8 laminates

High Volume Fiberglass Reinforced Microwave Substrate

TLX-8 offers reliability in a wide range of RF applications. This material is versatile due to its 2.45 ~ 2.65 DK range and available thicknesses and copper cladding. It is suitable for low layer count microwave designs. TLX-8 PTFE fiberglass laminates are ideal for use in radar systems, mobile communications, microwave test equipment, microwave transmission devices and RF components. TLX-8 is a workhorse in the RF microwave substrate world where the fiberglass offers mechanical reinforcement. wherever a substrate experience severe environment such as:

    • Resistance to creep for PWBs bolted to a housing that encounters high levels of vibration during space launch

    • High temperature exposure in engine modules

    • Radiation resistance in space (see NASA’s website for low outgassing materials)

    • Resistance to extreme environments at sea for warship antennas

    • Resistance to a wide temperature range for altimeter substrates during flight.

Benefits:

    • Low and Stable Dk

    • Excellent Mechanical & Thermal Properties

    • Dimensionally Stable

    • Low Moisture Absorption

    • Low DF

    • UL 94 V-0 Rating

    • For Low Layer Count Microwave Designs
