Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Insulectro Brings Power Chats to Booth at IPC APEX EXPO
February 13, 2017 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Insulectro has announced it will repeat its successful 13.5 minute power chats during this year’s IPC APEX EXPO at the San Diego Convention Center, February 14 - 16.
The Insulectro Power Chats, branded ipc@IPC, will provide details on many new products, processes and services for 2017.
“We are pleased to continue our ipc@IPC - Insulectro Power Chats,” commented Ken Parent, Vice President of Sales & Product Management, “We’ve taken our top four most interesting, new products and processes for 2017 and crafted short, info-packed learning sessions to be presented during IPC APEX EXPO. In no more than 13.5 minutes per topic, attendees will learn the WHAT/WHY/HOW of these game changers.
“Our new products can change the way a board is designed and fabricated. In our field testing, we’re hearing ‘We could have never made this board before’,” continued Parent. “We’re anxious to share our process information about our offerings in very concise power chats in our booth (Space 3733/3833).”
Insulectro Vice President of Technology Chris Hunrath agrees, “Over the past four years our IPC Power Chats have been enormously popular. Often, it’s standing room only. That’s due to the intriguing topics we spotlight in our chats and in our booth. This year is no exception. For instance, although IPC APEX is primarily a PCB industry tradeshow, we know many of our customers are interested in printed electronics so we’ve included a 13.5 minute Boot Camp on PE. Other topics include High Speed Digital Laminates from Isola, Inner layer Cleaning for Shiny Copper, DuPont Yieldmaster Wet Lamination, and a session on Insulectro’s new Customer Portal and our PumaFast™ inventory stocking program that focuses on getting materials to customers faster.”
