Introduction of TRF-45

The TRF-45 laminated materials represent a new generation of low-loss, thermally-stable laminated material from Taconic Advanced Dielectric Division. TRF-45 is woven-glass reinforced for enhanced dimensional-stability and coupled with Taconic's expertise in ceramic technology. It exhibits low and consistent Z-axis expansion across a wide range of temperature including and up to soldering conditions. TRF-45 can be sheared, drilled and plated using standard methods for PTFE woven fibre-glass materials.

Typical Applications

• Satellite radio antennas
• RFID antennas
• GPS antennas
