1. Introduction

Taconic CER-10 2-Layer PCB is a high-performance rigid circuit board specifically developed for advanced microwave and high-frequency applications, utilizing the superior properties of Taconic CER-10 organic-ceramic laminate from the ORCER product family. As a premium composite integrating Taconic’s advanced ceramic fill technology with coated PTFE fiberglass expertise, 2-layer CER-10 PCB features woven glass reinforcement, delivering exceptional interlaminar bond strength and solder resistance that set it apart for demanding high-performance projects. With a finished thickness of 25mil (0.635mm) and board dimensions of 89.3mm x 56.9mm (2 Types, 2 PCS total), CER-10 PCB is engineered to provide stable electrical performance and reliable functionality in critical microwave systems. Each unit undergoes 100% electrical testing prior to shipment, ensuring strict compliance with IPC-Class-2 accepted standards and meeting the rigorous quality requirements of global markets. Equipped with 1oz outer copper weight (1.4 mils), 20μm via plating thickness, and an Immersion Gold surface finish, paired with a Black top silkscreen (no bottom silkscreen) and no solder mask on either side, this PCB is optimized for signal integrity and compatibility with high-frequency designs. Boasting a minimum trace/space of 5/6 mils and a minimum hole size of 0.4mm (with no blind vias),Taconic CER-10 2-Layer PCB achieves an excellent balance between precision manufacturing and practical usability, suitable for a wide range of microwave passive components and high-frequency assemblies available worldwide.
