- Good moldability
- Designed for photocoupler / optocoupler devices
- Excellent mechanical integrity
Product Description
LINQSOL™ EMC-G274 is a halogen-free epoxy molding compound engineered for photocoupler/optocoupler devices. It offers excellent moldability (spiral flow of 105 cm at 175 °C), low moisture absorption ( 0.5% PCT 24 h), and superior mechanical strength (flexural strength = 160 MPa). With a glass transition of 147 °C ensures reliability in high-stress, high-temperature environments. Its factor in low ion content and high volume resistivity makes it ideal for sensitive optoelectronic applications.
LINQSOL EMC-G274 guarantees strong performance and outstanding long-term reliability in demanding environments. This product is deliberately formulated without the inclusion of substances prohibited by the European Union RoHS and REACH. Overall, EMC-G274 seamlessly integrates advanced material properties, safety compliance, and superior performance to deliver a reliable solution for semiconductor device encapsulation.

General Properties | |||||||
Specific Gravity Specific Gravity Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless. | 1.89 | ||||||

Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) The glass transition temperature for organic adhesives is a temperature region where the polymers change from glassy and brittle to soft and rubbery. Increasing the temperature further continues the softening process as the viscosity drops too. Temperatures between the glass transition temperature and below the decomposition point of the adhesive are the best region for bonding. The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs. | 147 °C | ||||||
UL 94 Rating UL 94 Rating Flammability rating classification. It determines how fast a material burns or extinguishes once it is ignited. HB: slow burning on a horizontal specimen; burning rate less than 76 mm/min for thickness less than 3 mm or burning stops before 100 mm V-2: burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of flaming particles are allowed. V-1: burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed. V-0: burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed. 5VB: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may develop a hole. 5VA: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may not develop a hole | V-0 |
