TLX offers reliability in a wide range of RF applications. This material is versatile due to its 2.45 - 2.65 DK range and available thicknesses and copper cladding. It is suitable for low layer count microwave designs.

TLX is PTFE based fiberglass laminate, it is ideal for use in radar systems, mobile communications, microwave test equipment, microwave transmission devices and RF components.

TLX is a workhorse in the RF microwave substrate world where the fiberglass offers mechanical reinforcement wherever a substrate experiences severe environments such as: resistance to creep for PCBs bolted to a housing that encounter high levels of vibration during space launch, high temperature exposure in engine modules, radiation resistance in space, antenna for warships that undergo extreme environments at sea and a substrate for altimeters that see a wide range of temperatures during flight.

There're TLX-0 (dk2.45), TLX-9 (dk2.50), TLX-8 (dk2.55), TLX-7 (dk2.60) and TLX-6 (dk2.65) in the TLX family. Dielectric thickness of TLX-0 ranges from 0.127mm to 6.35mm (5mil-250mil), TLX-9 ranges from 0.05mm to 6.35mm (2mil - 250mil), TLX-8 ranges from 0.064mm to 6.35mm (2.5mil to 250mil), TLX-7 ranges from 0.089mm to 6.35mm (3.5mil - 250mil), TLX-6 ranges from 0.089mm to 6.35mm (3.5mil to 250mil).

TLX-6 PCBs are popular for their outstanding mechanical and thermal properties, which make them ideal for high-performance electronic applications. They are resistant to warping, cracking, and other forms of mechanical stress, which is crucial for electronic equipment's longevity.

The TLX-6 PCB material has a low and stable DK, which ensures consistent signal transmission in various electronic applications. Additionally, TLX-6 PCBs are known for their low moisture absorption, which makes them an excellent choice for use in high-humidity environments.

The UL 94 V-O rating of TLX-6 PCBs means that they are highly resistant to flame, which is crucial for electronic equipment's safety in case of a fire outbreak.

TLX-6 PCBs have a tightly controlled DK, which makes them an ideal fit for electronic applications such as antennas, couplers, splitters, amplifiers, mixers, and filters, where precise signal transmission is essential. This material is also suitable for passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
