TLY-5Z High Frequency PCB

Introduction

TLY-5Z laminates are advanced composite materials blending glass-filled PTFE with woven fiberglass reinforcement. This glass-filled structure is specifically designed for low-density applications, such as aerospace, where minimizing weight is crucial. These laminates offer exceptional dimensional stability unattainable with unreinforced PTFEs. Their low-density composition results in minimal Z-axis expansion, a characteristic not typically found in PTFE-rich composites. Compared to traditional low dielectric constant PTFE composites, TLY-5Z demonstrates superior thermal stability against z-axis expansion-induced stress on plated through holes.

Features

Following the introduction above, we will delve into the specific features of TLY-5Z as defined by the IPC standard.

The material possesses a specific gravity of 1.92 g/cm³, in accordance with IPC-650 2.3.5.

At 10 GHz, the dielectric constant is recorded at 2.20, with a tolerance of ±0.04, as specified in IPC-650 2.5.5.5.1.

Moreover, the dissipation factor at this frequency stands at 0.0015, as outlined in IPC-650 2.5.5.5.1..

The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for TLY-5Z is 30 ppm/°C in the X direction and 40 ppm/°C in the Y direction, within the temperature range of 25°C to 260°C, as detailed in IPC-650 2.4.41.

TLY-5Z exhibits half the thermal expansion of PTFE-rich substrates, enhancing drilling capabilities and enabling thermal cycling. Ground stitching along transmission lines can be effortlessly achieved, ensuring thermal reliability.

The material demonstrates a moisture absorption rate of just 0.03%, according to IPC-650 2.6.2.1, and holds a UL-94 flammability rating of V-0.
