We are thrilled to announce the arrival of one of TLX-0 PCBs, a game-changing solution that takes high-power RF and microwave applications to unprecedented levels of performance and reliability.

Introduction to TLX-0
TLX series laminates are crafted using PTFE fiberglass composites, providing exceptional reliability across a broad range of RF applications. This material exhibits versatility with its DK range of 2.45 - 2.65, various available thicknesses, and copper cladding options. It is particularly well-suited for low layer count microwave designs.

In the RF microwave substrate domain, TLX is renowned as a workhorse due to its fiberglass composition that offers mechanical reinforcement in demanding environments. Some examples include:
Withstanding creep in PCBs attached to housings experiencing high vibration levels during space launches.
Enduring high temperatures in engine modules.
Exhibiting radiation resistance in space applications (refer to NASA's website for low outgassing materials).
Resisting extreme environments at sea, making it ideal for warship antennas.
Maintaining stability across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for altimeter substrates during flight.

TLX-0 is one of the materials in the TLX series, featuring a dielectric constant of 2.45 with a tight tolerance of ± 0.04.
