June 8, 2018 | Park ElectrochemicalEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Park Electrochemical Corp. has introduced Meteorwave 8000, Park’s newest high-speed, extremely low-loss digital and RF electronics material. Meteorwave 8000 is designed for high layer-count printed circuit boards which require the highest levels of reliability. Meteorwave 8000 features a typical loss (Df) of .0016 at 10GHz and is intended for use in 56Gbs to 112Gbs applications, including core routers, high-speed switches, supercomputers, 5G infrastructure and other applications where low signal attenuation, high reliability and high data transfer rates are critical.
Meteorwave 8000 is available globally in multiple laminate thicknesses, from 0.0012” and up, and is compatible with ultra-low-profile copper. Meteorwave 8000 has a UL 94V-0 designation and a 130°C MOT rating. It meets IPC-4101/102 specifications, and is RoHS-compliant.
Park Electrochemical Corp. is a global advanced materials company which develops and manufactures advanced composite materials, primary and secondary structures and assemblies and low-volume tooling for the aerospace markets and high-technology digital and RF/microwave printed circuit materials principally for the telecommunications and internet infrastructure, enterprise and military markets. The company’s manufacturing facilities are located in Kansas, Singapore, France, Arizona and California. The company also maintains R&D facilities in Arizona, Kansas and Singapore.
Additional corporation information is available on the company’s website.

Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?
