Insulectro Advances Signal Integrity Product Arsenal at PCB West
September 13, 2016 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Insulectro, the largest distributor of materials for use in the printed circuit board and printed electronics industries, will speak directly to PCB fabricators’ greatest challenge—signal integrity—during PCB West Conference & Exhibition in Santa Clara, California, September 13-15. Insulectro can be found in space #212.
Attendees will learn first-hand about signal loss solutions as Insulectro aggregates and presents products from their key suppliers: Isola, DuPont, Oak-Mitsui, CAC Inc., and EMD Ormet.
“PCB West is an important show for the PCB industry,” said Ken Parent, Insulectro Vice President of Sales and Product Management, “It’s presented right in the heart of Silicon Valley and attracts all members of the supply chain, from suppliers to fabricators, plus designers and OEMs. Insulectro has been a major player in Northern California for many years. It’s a perfect opportunity for us to showcase the incredible array of products we offer that help to maximize signal integrity.”
Vice President of Technology Chris Hunrath added, “We know our customers are looking for solutions to the continual challenge of signal loss. We hope to engage the attendees and discuss their issues and introduce them to cutting edge materials.”
Parent continued, “For the first time, we are pleased to be exhibiting with Isola to showcase our new supplier/distributor dynamic. Isola is exhibiting adjacent to us in space #210 and we’ve dropped the curtain between us to offer a seamless experience for attendees. Guests visiting our combined space will learn about Isola’s unique laminate materials designed for high speed applications and the mitigation of signal loss. Also, unique to this PCB West show, Insulectro will be spotlighting DuPont’s new Interra™ brand thin copper clad laminates in our booth, presented by Glenn Oliver, senior engineer at DuPont Electronics.”
Hunrath added, “Plus, it will be a great time to learn about high-quality electrodeposited copper from one of our newest suppliers, Oak-Mitsui.”
“Stop by Isola’s and Insulectro’s booths, #210 and #212, at PCB West and get acquainted with us and the best-in-class products we offer. And don’t forget, technical service is an important part of the Insulectro difference. We have a complete staff of field application engineers ready to work with you on solutions that are on-time, on-target, and on-budget,” Ken Parent concluded.

Nolan’s Notes: Tariffs, Technologies, and Optimization
10/01/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesLast month, SMT007 Magazine spotlighted India, and boy, did we pick a good time to do so. Tariff and trade news involving India was breaking like a storm surge. The U.S. tariffs shifted India from one of the most favorable trade agreements to the least favorable. Electronics continue to be exempt for the time being, but lest you think that we’re free and clear because we manufacture electronics, steel and aluminum are specifically called out at the 50% tariff levels.
