Design and Product Features

Taconic TSM DS3 PCB – solution high performance PCB projects.
In the intricate world of PCB design, the quest for the perfect laminate material can be a daunting task. At Rich Full Joy, we understand this struggle intimately, and that's why we're excited to introduce you to the Taconic TSM - DS3M – a revolutionary solution that's set to transform your high - performance PCB projects.
Break Free from the Ordinary: Ditch FR4 and Embrace Innovation
Tired of the limitations of traditional FR4 materials? It's time to think outside the box. The Taconic TSM - DS3M offers a host of advantages that make it an ideal choice for applications where reliability, thermal stability, and high - frequency performance are non - negotiable.
Industry - Leading Low - Loss Core
The TSM - DS3M is a trend - setting, thermally stable low - loss core. With a Df of just 0.0011 at 10GHz, it outperforms many materials on the market. Manufactured with the same consistency and predictability as RF4 (glass - reinforced epoxies), it's a cut above the rest. But what truly sets it apart is its unique ceramic - filled composition, boasting a glass fiber content of less than 5%. This makes it a top contender for fabricating large - format, complicated multilayer boards, rivaling the performance of epoxies.
Ideal for High - Power Applications
When it comes to high - power applications, heat management is crucial. The TSM - DS3M is engineered with a low CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion), ensuring that the dielectric material effectively conducts heat away from other heat sources in your PCB design. This not only enhances the overall performance but also extends the lifespan of your components.

Understanding Taconic TSM-DS3 PCB the Material: Thermal Coefficient and More

The thermal coefficient of the dielectric constant (T, K) is an important aspect of the TSM - DS3M. The dielectric values obtained from different test approaches can vary. The TSM - DS3M typically shows a T, K of - 11 ppm/°C (-55 to 150 degree Centigrade) under the IPC - 650 2.5.5.6 test method. Molecular vibrations and interactions, which increase with temperature, can cause the dielectric constant (Dk) to rise. However, the TSM - DS3M's unique composition helps mitigate this effect, ensuring stable performance.

Aspects to Consider for Storage, Handling, and Lamination
Storage
Proper storage is key to maintaining the integrity of the TSM - DS3M. At Rich Full Joy, we recommend storing it flat in a clean area at room temperature. Placing it between stiffeners helps prevent layer bending, and using soft slip sheets keeps debris and dust at bay. The storage conditions directly impact the shelf - life of the laminate.
Handling
Due to its unique composition, handling the TSM - DS3M requires care. Avoid mechanical scrubbing and refrain from picking up the panel horizontally by its edges. Also, take precautions to prevent contaminant deposits on the copper or material and avoid stacking panels. Post - etching, it's crucial to avoid mechanically abrading the PTFE surface.
Layer Preparation
When preparing the layers for lamination, acclimatization and scaling are essential steps. During lamination, strictly follow our set guidelines to ensure a high - quality, fully - functional TSM - DS3M PCB.
