Key Construction Details

PCB Stackup

Material Overview: Taconic TLX-8

TLX-8 is a high-performance laminate made from PTFE fiberglass with tightly controlled dielectric properties. It is engineered to deliver reliable performance in low-layer count microwave designs. The material is well-known for its low and stable Dk, low dissipation factor, and resistance to extreme environments.

Material Features

• Dielectric Constant (Dk): 2.55 ± 0.04 at 10GHz
• Dissipation Factor (Df): 0.0018 at 10GHz
• Moisture Absorption: 0.02%
• Flammability Rating: UL 94 V-0
• Thermal Decomposition Temperature (Td):
• 2% Weight Loss: 535°C
• 5% Weight Loss: 553°C

Benefits for Engineers and Designers

The low Dk and Df values ensure minimal signal degradation, making these PCBs ideal for microwave and RF communication systems.

With a high thermal decomposition temperature (Td) and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), TLX-8 PCBs maintain their integrity under thermal stress and vibration.

The material's low moisture absorption (0.02%) ensures performance stability in humid or marine environments.

These PCBs are designed to withstand high temperatures, vibration, and radiation, making them suitable for space, aviation, and military applications.

Manufactured to IPC-Class-2 standards with 100% electrical testing, these PCBs meet the quality and reliability expectations of engineers and buyers worldwide.
