Panasonic Specialized PCB Materials

As mentioned above, we learned that Panasonic has many Материал печатной платы series. Now we let’s delve into Panasonic specialized PCB materials.

Panasonic Halogen-Free & 5G PCB Material: MEGTRON 6 (R-5375)

The MEGTRON 6 (product R-5375) series was designed by Panasonic as a Безгалогенная печатная плата material. The intention was to solve the engineering problem presented by the new technology in communication infrastructure—the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication technology—that became prevalent during that period.
Panasonic Halogen-Free & 5G PCB Material: MEGTRON 6 (R-5375)
5G technology is an entirely new technology that has faster data transmission speeds and higher data capacity. The entire ИКТ and communication hardware had to be designed to take on this new technology challenge. MEGTRON 6 is also an excellent multi-layer PCB that perfectly fits to this design requirement to produce circuit boards that are used in the new technology 5G servers, routers, as well as the mobile and computer circuit boards since 5G circuit boards are complex circuit boards with unique design requirements that are required to be met.

Panasonic Multi-layer PCB Material: MEGTRON 8

Panasonic has already developed MEGTRON 8, the best material for multilayer printed circuit boards, which is greatly required in current high-speed communication and RF devices.
Panasonic Multi-layer PCB Material: MEGTRON 8
The target data rate that Panasonic aimed to attain with the launch of this revolutionary PCB material was 800 GbE (112 Gbps), PAM4. This was double the pace that was previously possible in the market. The unusualness in the development of the MEGTRON 8 lies in the fact that instead of working with the PTFE-based PCB material, the company uses resin design technology combined with ultra-low dielectric dissipation factor glass fabric and thin copper foil. This has the effect that it enhances the dielectric property of the material; therefore, it has low transmission loss and is capable of handling higher layers in multilayer printed circuit boards.
 
The MEGTRON 8 cut propagation loss by 30% in the 28GHz band. This was lower compared to the MEGTRON 7 (R-5785), which had the lowest propagation.

Panasonic Flexible PCB Material: FELIOS LCP

Компания Panasonic разработала FELIOS LCP (жидкокристаллический полимер) как идеальный материал для гибких печатных плат, требующих высокой скорости и низких потерь сигнала, или для приложений, требующих устойчивости к поглощению влаги.

Panasonic Flexible PCB Material: FELIOS LCP
This type of material is common in applications such as антенны and RF circuits, millimeter-wave radar equipment, and medical equipment. It is crafted from specialty pure LCP film (liquid crystal polymer). This gives the material excellent dimensional stability and outstanding copper peel adhesion. This PCB material also has ultra-low moisture absorption and is ideal for moist conditions.
 
FELIOS LCP также разработан с использованием материалов, не содержащих галогенов, что упрощает его производство, так как исключает дополнительные этапы, необходимые при использовании материалов, содержащих галогены. Это также позволяет ему не выделять токсичные пары в случае возгорания. Новый клей для склеивания FELIOS R-BM17 с низким уровнем потерь позволяет поддерживать многослойные гибкие LCP-конструкции

MEGTRON laminates offer extremely low dielectric loss, making them ideal for high-speed communication equipment such as routers, servers, and 5G base stations.
The primary difference is in signal loss performance. MEGTRON 8 offers approximately 30% lower propagation loss at high frequencies (e.g., 28GHz) compared to MEGTRON 7. This makes MEGTRON 8 the superior choice for next-generation 112 Gbps (800 GbE) applications in AI and data centers.
Yes. Many Panasonic materials, including MEGTRON 6 and FELIOS FRCC, are halogen-free and meet international environmental standards.
For 5G antennas, the Xpedion series is an excellent choice due to its optimized low-loss properties in the RF range. For flexible antenna structures, particularly in smartphones or automotive settings, FELIOS LCP is highly recommended for its combination of high-frequency performance and moisture resistance.
FELIOS LCP is ideal for flex PCBs because it inherently resists moisture absorption, which is critical for reliability in humid or variable environments.
