TacLamPLUS RF & Microwave Laminate Characteristics Laser-ablatable Sequential Multilayer Very Low Loss Low Moisture Absorption High Peel Strength Uniform & Consistent DK Applications Automotive Radar mm-wave Radios Power Amplifier Introducing TacLamPLUS Taclamplus is a cost-effective, non-reinforced microwave substrate that can be used to create very low-loss struc-tures both with single dielectric layers and multiple layers. Exceptional copper-foil adhesion allows small-feature resolution and the unique composition of the dielectric facilitates clean laser ablation for micro-via and component-cavity formation. The use of a metal plate such as 1 mm copper helps maintain dimensional stability and provides a sound ground plane and heat-sink.
