To provide a phenolic resin molding compound substantially equivalent to or better than conventional such molding compounds in mechanical properties, but small in anisotropic difference for coefficient of linear expansion.

The phenolic resin molding compound comprises the phenolic resin, tectosilicates and inorganic fillers which comprise glass fibers and inorganic fillers at least one kind selected from talc, clay, calcium carbonate and wollastonite excluding glass fibers. Wherein the preferable tectosilicates is at least one selected from orthoclase, albite and anorthite, and contained 3-30 wt.%. to the total resin compound.
