TC600: 6.15 Dielectric Constant Material

Arlon is in the midst of launching TC600, a 6.15 dielectric constant material that doubles the thermal conductivity of existing materials in the 6 dielectric constant market while achieving very low loss (0.0022 at 10 GHz via IPC TM-650 2.5.5.5 Test). This material also has excellent CTE and thermal-electric stability, key to improved performance

Arlon's TC600 is a woven fiberglass reinforced, ceramic filled, PTFE-based composite for use as a printed circuit board substrate. TC600 is designed to provide enhanced heat-transfer through "Best-In-Class" thermal conductivity, while reducing dielectric loss and insertion loss. Lower losses result in higher Amplifier and Antenna Gains/Efficiencies. Mechanical robustness is also greatly improved for the 6.15 dielectric constant market.

Features:

"Best in Class" Thermal Conductivity and Dielectric Constant Stability across Wide Temperatures
Very Low Loss Tangent provides Higher Amplifier or Antenna Efficiency
Mechanically Robust; replaces brittle laminates that cannot withstand processing, impact or High G forces
Priced Affordably for Commercial Applications
High Peel Strength for Reliable Narrow Lines

Benefits:

Heat Dissipation and Management
Replace Ceramic in Some Applications
Improved Processing and Reliability
Large Panel Sizes for Multiple Circuit Layout for lowered Processing Costs

Typical Applications:

Power Amplifiers, Filters and Couplers
Microwave Combiner and Power Divider Boards in Avionics Applications
Small Footprint Antennas
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) Antennas (Satellite Radio)
