Introduction to CER-10 Base Material
CER-10 is an organic-ceramic laminate belonging to Taconic’s ORCER product family. It features a dielectric constant of 10 and a low dissipation factor of 0.0035 at 10 GHz, making it well-suited for high-frequency applications. The material incorporates a woven glass reinforcement, integrating Taconic’s advanced ceramic fill technology with coated PTFE fiberglass expertise. CER-10 delivers exceptional interlaminar bond strength and solder resistance, thereby positioning it as an ideal substrate for high-performance microwave and passive component applications.
