AGC / Nelco / Taconic PCB Materials: Selection & Specification

RF laminates, digital laminates and bonding materials

The reference directory combines legacy Nelco and Taconic ranges. Confirm the current manufacturer designation and qualified bonding system for the exact grade.

Define the requirement before choosing the grade

Write down the function of this material in your board. Is it the dielectric around a critical RF line, a bonding layer, a flexible interconnect, or a specialty functional layer? Follow that with the frequency range, finished thickness, temperature conditions and mechanical constraints. This prevents a familiar product name from becoming an unsupported design assumption.

What to request from the fabricator

Qualify the construction

For an RF route, re-evaluate impedance and electrical length using the proposed finished stackup. For a flexible region, include the mechanical bend and coverlay construction. For a functional layer, agree on the specific electrical or thermal acceptance criterion. Keep the prototype configuration traceable so later changes can be compared meaningfully.

Listed names provide directory coverage, not a promise of availability or an assertion that each entry suits every RF application.
