Taconic RF-35TC high frequency materials are PTFE based, ceramic filled fiberglass laminates which provide low dissipation factor and high thermal conductivity. The heat is diffused away from both transmission lines and surface mount components such as capacitors etc. It will not oxidize, yellow or show upward drift in dielectric constant and dissipation factor like its synthetic rubber (hydrocarbon) competitors. This material is best suited for high power applications.

Benefits

RF-35TC offers several significant benefits that make it an ideal choice for RF applications.

Firstly, it features a "Best in Class" loss tangent of 0.002 at 10GHz, resulting in minimal signal loss and superior signal integrity.

Secondly, RF-35TC excels in thermal management with a true thermal conductivity of 0.6W/m/k (unclad),effectively dissipating component-generated heat.

Another key benefit lies in its stable dielectric constant (Dk) across a wide temperature spectrum, ensuring consistent electrical performance in varying environmental conditions.

RF-35TC enhances antenna gains and efficiencies, contributing to superior signal propagation and reception, thereby improving antenna performance.

Furthermore, its excellent adhesion to Very Low Profile (VLP) copper ensures robust bonding between PCB material and copper layers, enhancing reliability and durability for demanding applications.
