Taconic has over 35 year s of exper ience coating

fiberglass fa br ic with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene).

This enables Taconic to manufacture copper clad

PTFE/woven glass laminates with exceptionally well

controlled electrical and mechanical properties.

Taconic TLE laminates are engineered to provide

electrical, and mechanical properties to meet the

requirements of complex microwave and high

speed digital applications .The low Z-axis CTE of TLE

laminates provides excellent plated through hole

reliability.The low ther mal expansion proper ties in the

X and Y plane ensure high relia bility in surface mount

applications .The dielectric constant (Dk) exhibits

minimal change over temperature.The Dk is typically

offered at 2.95,with a tolerance of ±.05.

TLE laminates can be sheared,dr illed, milled, and

plated using standard methods for PTFE/woven fiber-

glass materials.The laminates are dimensionally sta-

ble,and exhibit vir tually no moisture a bsorption dur-

ing fabr ication processes.

TLE laminates are generally ordered clad on one or

both sides with 1/2,1, or 2 oz.electrodeposited cop-

per foil.Contact our Customer Service Department

for alter nate claddings.

TLE laminates are tested in accordance with IPC-TM

650.A Cer tificate of Compliance containing actual

test data accompanies each shipment.

See “How to Order”on back page for a complete

product listing.
