Matrix Reaffirms Commitment for Panasonic LCP Flexible Laminates
July 3, 2017 | MatrixEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Recently, there has been a lot of concern in the market regarding the availability of the LCP film that supports copper clad LCP flexible laminates.
In a recently released statement, Matrix USA Inc., a provider of raw materials to the North American PCB industry, reassures customers that the Panasonic Felios R-F705T LCP flexible laminate continues to be available to support the growing market requirements for high-speed, low-loss flexible laminate materials.
Customer and prospects can be assured that the supply chain for the Panasonic Felios R-F705T is secure and material requirements will be supported in the future, according to Matrix USA. Panasonic’s LCP film supplier is currently ramping up capacity to meet growing requirements. Part of this capacity expansion involves a slight reformulation of the LCP film. This new LCP film is currently being tested at Panasonic and once testing is completed samples of the new film will be available for evaluation.
During this transition, the current LCP film and the Panasonic Felios R-F705T laminate material will be readily available and in stock at Matrix USA’s five strategically located warehouses.
There are no changes being made to Panasonic’s new low loss bonding adhesive, R-BM17 that was released last year. This new adhesive provides break-through performance by dramatically simplifying the lamination cycle for pure package multilayer LCP circuits and hybrid rigid-flex designs, the statement added.
Matrix will provide updates on the progress of these changes as they develop over the coming weeks.

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?
