Current IssueThe Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.
Fueling the Workforce Pipeline
We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.

EMC & Technica to Introduce New Ultra High Speed Materials at DesignCon 2018
January 22, 2018 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Increasing transmission speeds require the need to support the future in 100 to 400GbE switch or router, 5G wireless network, PCIe 4.0/ 5.0 mega-data center and HPC, as well as other high technology designs, Elite Material Co., Ltd. (EMC) has officially released EM-528, EM-528K, EM-890 and EM-890K halogen-free ultra-high speed materials which enable high speed signals to be transmitted at 25 to 64Gbps with consistent reliability and performance.
According to EMC’s beta-site test results, EM-528 Very Low Loss material was designed with Dk: 3.5/ Df: 0.0060@10GHz (by cavity resonator under 65% resin content) and has similar insertion loss performance as the current leading laminate materials applied for 100GbE network with significant cost reduction; while EM-890K Ultra Low Loss material was formulated with Dk: 2.9/ Df: 0.0024@10GHz (by cavity resonator under 65% resin content) which outperforms any current leading laminate materials used for 400GbE market with the most competitive cost.
EMC is confident that these new advanced halogen-free ultra high-speed materials will be the best solutions for both OEMs and ODMs who have long been in the trade-off dilemma between performance and cost. Stated by Albert Tung, President of EMC, “EM-528, EM-528K, EM-890 and EM-890K once again demonstrates our continued innovation and commitment to meet the halogen-free requirements of the most cutting edge high-speed PCB designs developed by Datacom, Telecom, Server and Storage industries."
Frank Medina, president of Technica USA added, “EMC is the global leader of halogen-free laminates and also enjoys the outstanding reputation of its world class quality. Not only have these new products exceled due to its electrical and thermal performances but they also provide our customers with unbeaten value they can truly trust and rely on.”
EMC and Technica invite OEMs, ODMs and PCB fabricators to stop by Booth #202 at DesignCon 2018 to learn more about these and other high speed products offered by EMC.
