The new 19-micron 3M Embedded Capacitance Material (ECM), introduced by
3M Electronic Solutions Division, offers printed circuit board
manufacturers a high-performing choice for cost-sensitive applications.
3M ECM is a thin, high-performance embedded capacitor laminate for
printed circuit boards. The material helps reduce impedance, power bus
noise, EMI and discrete capacitor count. The material is designed for
OEMs with high-speed digital and low-pass filter designs and who seek to
differentiate their products through dramatically improved performance
and reduced size.
The new 19-micron thickness is suited for cost-sensitive equipment, such
as handheld electronics, where functionality and size constraints drive
design.
The material’s high capacitive density allows it to perform the power
supply decoupling function so that the number of discrete capacitors may
be reduced, increasing useable board space and allowing for board size
reduction.
3M ECM is compatible with most rigid and flex printed circuit board
processing, including laser drilling. Fabricators and OEMs worldwide may
use 3M ECM without a purchasing license from 3M. The material is RoHS
compliant*.
