TRF-45 High Frequency PCB

Introduction

TRF-45 high-frequency materials represent a breakthrough in low-loss and thermally stable PCB substrates. Featuring woven-glass reinforcement, TRF-45 provides superior dimensional stability. By utilizing Taconic's expertise in ceramic technology, TRF-45 maintains a reliably low Z-axis expansion across a wide temperature spectrum, even under soldering conditions.

It is compatible with standard fabrication processes such as shearing, drilling, milling, and plating, using the same conventional techniques applied to PTFE woven fiber-glass materials.

Features

TRF-45 boasts a dielectric constant of 4.5 at 10GHz and a low dissipation factor of 0.0035 at the same frequency.

Its moisture absorption rate is ≤0.06%, demonstrating exceptional resistance to moisture.

The material achieves a flexural strength of 17,000 lbs/in in the lengthwise direction and 15,000 lbs/in in the transverse direction.

Under thermal stress conditions, TRF-45 delivers outstanding peel strength, exceeding 8 lbs/in.

Additionally, TRF-45 exhibits a CTE of 9 ppm/°C along both the x-axis and y-axis, while the z-axis shows a CTE of 40 ppm/°C.

Finally, TRF-45 is UL-94 V0 certified.

Our PCB Capability

When it comes to our PCB capabilities with TRF-45, we've got you covered with a ton of options for your unique needs.

First off, we offer different types of PCBs. Whether you need Double-Sided PCBs, Multilayer PCBs, or Hybrid PCBs, we've got the right fit for all kinds of design requirements.

Then copper weight, you have the flexibility to choose between 1oz (35 µm) and 2oz (70µm). This gives designers the freedom to fine-tune the electrical and thermal performance of the PCB.

The thickness options are super diverse too. Our TRF-45 PCBs come in thicknesses like 8mil, 16mil, 24mil, 32mil, 40mil, 64mil, and 120mil. No matter what application you have in mind, we're sure to have a compatible thickness.

Size is never an issue either. We can manufacture PCBs up to 400mm x 500mm. So, whether you're working on a compact design or something larger, we can handle it.

If you're looking to add some style and functionality, we've got you covered. We support a wide range of solder mask colors. You can choose from green, black, blue, yellow, red, and purple.

And there's more! We offer multiple surface finish options. You can go for Bare Copper, HASL, ENIG, Immersion Silver, Immersion Tin, ENEPIG, Pure gold, and OSP. Each option is tailored to meet specific performance and reliability needs.

Applications

TRF-45 PCBs are highly versatile and well-suited for a variety of advanced applications, such as satellite radio antennas, RFID antennas, and GPS antennas etc.
