Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The 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.

EMC and Technica to Introduce New Extreme Low Loss High Speed Materials at Designcon 2021
August 4, 2021 | Elite Material Co. LtdEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

The insatiable need for Ethernet speed and wider bandwidth has escalated the demands for Extreme Low Loss laminate materials, EMC has stepped up and answered to the challenge by developing our latest products EM892K and EM892K2 materials that can meet up the needs of next-gen 800GE Switch and Router, HPC, 5G and AI applications.
These advanced laminate materials have been designed not only with exceptional electrical performance (by Cavity Resonator) for EM892K with LDk glass is @70%RC, Dk 2.84, Df @10GHz 0.0017, and for EM892K2 with L2-glass is @70%RC, Dk 2.76, Df @10GHz 0.0013 but also successfully passed the most stringent reliability standards, such as: Lead-free 260 10X with 32L 0.6mm hole pitch, IST test from room temp to 150°C for 3K cycles with 32L 0.6mm hole pitch, and Anti-CAF test @100V / 85°C / 85% RH with 32L 0.6mm hole pitch for 1K hours. In addition; they are formulated to be capable of withstanding sequential lamination design up to 7X lamination cycles and are fully compatible with hybrid PCB design with our recommended EM-370(Z) Mid. Loss material for cost reduction. To enable extra SI buffer for SI critical projects, we have also developed both HVLP3 and HVLP4 foils to further push to its performance limit.
This successful development has once again demonstrated our continued innovation and commitment to meet the halogen-free requirements of the most cutting-edge high-speed PCB designs. Frank Medina, President of Technica USA added, “EMC maintains and continues to be the global leader of halogen-free laminates meeting the most challenging high-speed & thermal performance requirements. Besides developing materials that meet current and future demands, EMC continues to expand their presence and support in the North American PCB fabrication market with their recent investment in Arlon in Rancho Cucamonga CA."
EMC and Technica hereby welcome our OEMs, ODMs and PCB Fabricators to stop by Booth #406 at DesignCon 2021 to learn more about these and other high-speed products offered by us.
