Why TLX-8 Material Makes the Difference
The TLX-8 material is at the heart of this PCB’s exceptional performance. It’s a PTFE fiberglass laminate specifically developed for high-frequency applications, with properties that make it ideal for challenging environments.
 

Top Benefits of TLX-8:

• Low Dielectric Constant (Dk): At 2.55 ± 0.04 (10 GHz), it ensures stable and accurate signal transmission across a wide frequency range.
• Low Dissipation Factor (Df): With a Df of 0.0018 at 10 GHz, this material minimizes signal loss, making it perfect for RF and microwave designs.
• Moisture Resistance: Absorbing less than 0.02% moisture, it performs consistently in humid or wet conditions.
• Thermal Stability: The material is resistant to warping, even under high temperatures or thermal stress.
• Durability in Extreme Environments: Whether in space, at sea, or in high-vibration settings, TLX-8 remains reliable.
• Excellent PIM Performance: With Passive Intermodulation (PIM) values lower than -160 dBc, it ensures clear and stable RF signals.

With TLX-8, you get a material that’s built to handle the toughest challenges while maintaining performance and reliability.
