On January 19, 2021, Technica USA, located in San Jose, California, announced they had reached an agreement at the end of 2020 with TFE to act as a sales representative of EMC products in Eastern Canada. The cooperation includes stocking of EMC materials in their Toronto, Ontario facility.
Frank Medina, president of Technica USA stated, “We are very pleased to have established this relationship with TFE. Their representation of the EMC products will expand our sales and support effort with experienced sales people. In addition, utilizing the TFE facility for stocking inventory will allow us to better service customers in this territory and will be backed by our other value add facilities located in Santa Ana and San Jose CA and the TCS valued add center located in Plymouth, MN.”
Jeff Brandman, president of TFE remarked, “Our focus is to bring technology leading products from around the world directly to our customers. It’s a complete honour to grow our supplier network with the representation of EMC. The TFE team is thrilled to be working with a global PCB laminate technology leader in collaboration with the Technica USA team.”
Medina continued, “EMC has released a group of advanced products over the last couple of years that have quickly become recognized as “Best in Class” for signal integrity and thermal performance. Our cooperation with TFE will enable us to present the features and advantages of these leading-edge products to a broader customer base.”

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.
