TSM-DS3 High Frequency PCB


Material Introduction

 
TSM-DS3 is an exceptional thermally stable material that boasts industry-leading low loss properties with a dissipation factor (DF) of 0.0011 at 10 GHz. It offers the predictability and consistency comparable to the best fiberglass reinforced epoxies available in the market.
 
TSM-DS3 stands out as a ceramic-filled reinforced material with a remarkably low fiberglass content of approximately 5%. This unique composition allows it to rival epoxies in fabricating large format complex multilayers, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications.
 
One of the key highlights of TSM-DS3 is its suitability for high power applications. With a high thermal conductivity (TC) of 0.65 W/m*K, this material efficiently conducts heat away from other heat sources in a printed wiring board (PWB) design. This capability ensures effective heat dissipation and helps maintain optimal performance in high-power scenarios.
 
Moreover, TSM-DS3 has been developed to exhibit very low coefficients of thermal expansion, making it highly suitable for applications that undergo demanding thermal cycling. This exceptional feature enhances the material's performance and reliability, providing stability even in environments with significant temperature variations.
