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.

Trouble in Your Tank: Materials for PWB Fabrication—Drillability and Metallization
07/16/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankLaminate materials are the building blocks on which printed circuit boards are manufactured. Circuit board designers rely on the critical electrical properties of the materials to design the interconnects, and with the drive toward IoT (internet of things), autonomous driving, and virtual and augmented reality, material properties take on a very high level of importance.
Don’t Overconstrain Your Board Materials
07/02/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamWhen we started planning May’s issue, which centers on the use of traditional laminates in certain high-frequency PCBs, we knew we had to interview Kris Moyer and Ed Kelley together. Kris teaches advanced PCB design classes for IPC, and Ed is the former CTO of Isola and founder of Four Peaks Innovation. What ensued was a wide-ranging discussion on the evolution of “standard” PCB laminates and the recent trend by some OEMs to use these materials in high-frequency and even RF boards.
Underconstraining Your Materials? Leave It to the Experts
05/30/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamWith traditional laminates now sporting improved resin systems, some OEMs are choosing various flavors of FR-4 instead of high-speed laminates for their high-speed designs—even RF applications. Avoiding overconstraining your materials in high-speed products can lead to considerable cost savings, not to mention a more streamlined trip through fabrication.
The Shaughnessy Report: Unlock Your High-speed Material Constraints
05/15/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportThe world of PCB materials used to be a fairly simple one. It was divided into two groups: the “traditional” laminates, often called FR-4, and the high-speed laminates developed especially for high-speed PCBs. These were two worlds that usually didn’t collide. But then traditional laminates started getting better, and high-speed designers and design engineers took notice and started to reconsider what FR-4 could be used for.
Breaking High-speed Material Constraints: Design007 Magazine — May 2024
05/14/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamDo you need specialty materials for your high-speed designs? Maybe not. Improvements in resins mean designers of high-speed boards can sometimes use traditional laminate systems instead of high-speed materials, saving time and money while streamlining the fab process. In the May 2024 issue of Design007 Magazine, our contributors explain how to avoid overconstraining your materials when working with high-speed boards.
