Isola Exhibits High-Reliability Copper-Clad Laminates at PCB West
September 11, 2017 | Isola GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Isola Group, the leading global and local manufacturer of copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepregs for use in PCB boards announces it will exhibit at PCB West in Santa Clara, CA, on Wednesday, September 13, 2017. Isola will display in booth #613 adjacent to its distributor Insulectro in #615.
“Isola is presenting a broad array of products that are truly exciting for our customers,” commented Sean Mirshafiei, Global Vice President of Marketing. “We are exhibiting high speed digital products, like Tachyon® 100G, I-Tera® MT40, and I-Speed® that facilitate next generation designs. As circuit boards continue to become thinner, smaller, and faster, OEM designers are demanding a new breed of materials with lower loss and lower Dk to design and build boards that were never before possible.”
In addition to the HSD dielectric materials for advanced designs, Isola will also present Halogen-free, High-reliability FR-4, and RF/Microwave laminates.
Since 1991, PCB West has been the place designers, fabricators and assemblers have gathered to exchange ideas and learn better ways to make printed circuit boards. Over 2,000 industry professionals participate in a one-day exhibition and three-day technical conference held at the Santa Clara Convention Center. It is Silicon Valley's largest event for the PCB industry.
"I look forward to greeting Isola customers and sharing with them the direction our company is going. PCB West is an important tradeshow that offers attendees unique opportunities to improve skills, increase knowledge, and network with peers, colleagues, and experts," Mirshafiei concluded.
The exhibit floor is open Wednesday, September 13, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Isola is a leading global material sciences company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets laminate materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer printed circuit boards, which provide the physical platforms for the semiconductors, passive components, and connection circuitry that power and control virtually all modern electronic products. Isola operates a network of factories worldwide.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
