RF-60A 25mil (0.635mm) Taconic High Frequency PCB With Immersion Ni/Au

RF-60A is an organic-ceramic laminate in the ORganic CERamic(ORCER) family of Taconic products.

Description

RF-60A 25mil (0.635mm) Taconic High Frequency PCB With Immersion Ni/Au For Filters & Couplers

RF-60A based on woven glass reinforcement. It is a result of Taconic's expertise in both ceramic fill technology and in coated PTFE fiberglass. RF-60A exhibits exceptional interlaminar bond strength and solder resistance. Its proprietary composition results in low moisture absorption and uniform electrical properties.

RF-60A Frequency DK

RF-60A's woven glass reinforcement ensures excellent dimentional stability and enhances flexural strength. It exhibits low Z-axis expansion allowing for plated-through-hole reliablity in extreme thermal environments. With a dielectric constant of approximately 6.15, it is ideal high DK products for applications requiring reduced circuit size and weight. The low electrical loss factor makes it an excellent selection for RF circuits.

RF-60A Frequency DF PCB

RF-60A laminates are in complete compliance with RoHS and WEEE directives and are compatible with the temperatures required for the new lead free solders. They can be sheared, drilled, milled and plated using standard methods for PTFE-woven fiberglass materials, so mass production becomes possible.
