RF Circuit Board - Taconic RF-35 PCB

RF-35 is an organic ceramic high-frequency circuit material in the Taconic ORCER series products. RF-35 is based on woven glass reinforcement and ceramic filling technology. RF-35 is the best choice for low-cost, large-scale commercial microwave and radio frequency applications. The peel strength of 1/2 ounce and 1 ounce copper is excellent (even compared to standard epoxy resin materials). RF-35 has ultra-low moisture absorption and low dispersion coefficient, minimizing phase shift with frequency to the greatest extent possible.

Taconic RF-35 and RF-35A2 are organic ceramic high-frequency circuit materials suitable for RF and microwave applications. RF-35A2 has lower losses and higher thermal conductivity, making it suitable for applications with high frequency and heat dissipation requirements.
