EMC and Technica USA to Present Full Line of EMC Materials at DesignCon 2017
January 31, 2017 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In conjunction with Technica USA, EMC plans to present their full line of laminate materials at DesignCon 2017, booth #202.
EMC will be presenting several new products at this year’s conference. The focus will primarily be on the halogen free EM-890/ 890K and the halogenated EM-891/ 891K ultra high speed materials for 100 and 200GbE applications as well as the EM-370(Z), a halogen free very low CTE material for power supply, mission critical, automotive ECU and EV/ HEV applications.
Greg Spencer, EMC’s U.S. OEM Marketing Director, stated, “We are very excited about the release of these new high performance products. EMC is the #1 worldwide supplier of halogen free products that also deliver significant electrical and thermal performance. It is because of their continuous investment in R&D that EMC have become the fastest growing laminator in the world over the last five years. We look forward to meeting with OEM and PCB fabrication customers attending this year’s conference.”
Frank Medina, President CEO of Technica USA, also added, “The recognition of EMC’s products for quality, performance and cost effectiveness has been significant since establishing our relationship in 2013 and we look forward to continuing to build on that past success”.
EMC products are exclusively distributed in North America through Technica USA. Additional information on the EMC product offering can be obtained by contacting Technica at 408-240-595 or through their website.

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.
