Partnering to Combine Embedded Passives
By Bruce Mahler, Vice President, Ohmega Technologies, Inc., Culver City, CA
Embedding passive components within PC boards is not a new science; at Ohmega, we've been doing it for 35 years. But the technology has evolved dramatically in that time period, and today's inside-the-board possibilities are more diverse than ever. Ohmega Technologies, Inc. manufactures OhmegaPly®, the U.S. Industry standard for thin film embedded resistive materials for printed circuit boards. Oak-Mitsui, Inc. manufactures FaradFlex®, an embedded capacitive material for printed circuit boards. There have been serious collaborative (partnering) efforts by both companies to develop a recently patented combined embeddable resistor/capacitor layer called Ohmega/Faradflex.
