Taconic PCB Fabrication for High-Frequency & RF/Microwave Applications
High-Performance Taconic PCBs for RF, Microwave & High-Speed Digital Systems
Taconic laminates are engineered for applications that demand low dielectric loss, stable electrical performance, and very low moisture absorption. Sierra Assembly specializes in manufacturing high-frequency Taconic PCBs for RF, microwave, satellite communication, radar, 5G infrastructure, and advanced wireless systems. As a leading Circuit Board Manufacturer, we also support complex PCB Manufacturing needs using Taconic materials.
With deep capabilities in PTFE-based laminates, ceramic-filled composites, and hybrid Taconic stack-ups, we support customers who require predictable performance at GHz-level frequencies. Our expert engineering team ensures high reliability whether you require a Printed Circuit Board (P.C.B.) or a Custom PCB solution.
Sierra Assembly is an AS9100-certified, ISO 9001:2015–compliant, IPC Class 3 manufacturer, providing the quality and traceability required in defense, aerospace, medical, and telecom environments.
Why Engineers Choose Taconic Laminates
Taconic is widely used in high-frequency designs due to:
• Low Dk and exceptionally low Df for signal efficiency
• Thermally robust materials suitable for high-power RF devices
• Low moisture uptake for improved environmental stability
• Excellent dimensional stability for tight-tolerance circuits
• High copper adhesion even with PTFE-based systems
• Wide operating temperature range for mission-critical hardware
Taconic Materials We Work With
We support the complete portfolio of Taconic RF and microwave substrates, including:
• RF-35 (Low-loss PTFE laminate for broadband RF)
• TLY Series (Ultra-low-loss PTFE laminates for precision RF)
• CER-10 (Ceramic-filled high-Dk laminate for compact RF circuits)
• TLX Series (Reinforced PTFE with low moisture absorption)
• EZ-IO Series (High-speed digital interconnect materials)
We also fabricate hybrid stack-ups integrating Taconic with FR-4 or other RF substrates for cost-optimized designs.
