Taconic TLX-8 62mil 1.575mm RF Antenna PCB TLT-8 High Frequency PCB for Directional Coupler
TLX 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 is PTFE based fiberglass laminate, it is ideal for use in radar systems, mobile communications, microwave test equipment, microwave transmission devices and RF components.
TLX is a workhorse in the RF microwave substrate world where the fiberglass offers mechanical reinforcement wherever a substrate experiences severe environments such as: resistance to creep for PCBs bolted to a housing that encounter high levels of vibration during space launch, high temperature exposure in engine modules, radiation resistance in space, antenna for warships that undergo extreme environments at sea and a substrate for altimeters that see a wide range of temperatures during flight.
There're TLX-0 (dk2.45), TLX-9 (dk2.50), TLX-8 (dk2.55), TLX-7 (dk2.60) and TLX-6 (dk2.65) in the TLX family. Dielectric thickness of TLX-0 ranges from 0.127mm to 6.35mm (5mil-250mil), TLX-9 ranges from 0.05mm to 6.35mm (2mil - 250mil), TLX-8 ranges from 0.064mm to 6.35mm (2.5mil to 250mil), TLX-7 ranges from 0.089mm to 6.35mm (3.5mil - 250mil), TLX-6 ranges from 0.089mm to 6.35mm (3.5mil to 250mil).
