Bear, DE (December 7, 2007) – Arlon Inc. announced the availability of the TC600
Microwave Laminate, the first product in the “TC Family of Products”.
TC600, with a 6.15 dielectric constant, is designed to provide enhanced
heat-transfer through “Best-In-Class” thermal conductivity, while reducing
dielectric loss, insertion loss, and dielectric constant variation with
temperature. The increased thermal conductivity of TC600 provides higher power
handling, reduces power amplifier junction temperatures and reduces solder joint
fatigue. This unique material property can be used to compliment or reduce the
system costs of existing thermal management solutions.
TC600 has “Best-In-Class” Dielectric Constant Stability across a wide temperature
range. This helps Power Amplifier and Antenna designers maximize gain and minimize
dead bandwidth lost to dielectric constant drift as operating temperature changes.
Dielectric constant stability is also critical to phase sensitive devices such as power
divider circuitry or network transformers utilized for impedance matching networks utilized
in power amplifier transformer circuitry. The low coefficient of thermal expansion properties
also provide a higher level of component attachment and plated thru hole reliability for
improved device reliability and lower warranty costs.
