The PCB stackup consists of a 0.254 mm (10 mil) TLX-9 core with 35 μm (1 oz) copper layers on both sides. It is fabricated to tight tolerances, including a minimum trace/space of 5/6 mils, minimum hole size of 0.3 mm, and a finished thickness of 0.3 mm. 100% electrical testing is performed before shipment.
Typical applications for the TLX-9 PCB include:
Low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), low-noise blocks (LNBs), and low-noise converters (LNCs)
Personal communications service (PCS) and personal communications network (PCN) antennas
High-power amplifiers
Passive components
With its exceptional electrical and mechanical properties, the TLX-9 is an ideal choice for challenging RF and microwave designs that require high performance and reliability.
