Topic: Advanced PCB Laminate Material Selection: What a designer needs to know about choosing the right material for your design
Speaker 1: Michael Gay, Director, High-Performance Products, Isola Laminate Group
Designers are faced with many choices when trying to select the correct laminate type for your design. Many factors for performance: signal integrity, temperature range, microvia performance and cost come into play. Michael will share with us the various materials, properties and electrical characteristics to meet the requirements for your applications.
The presentation will cover various glass fabric and weave styles, resin technologies, pre-preg types, copper foil types and treatment properties. Also, Michael will discuss the many factors that influence the performance and signal integrity of high-speed design applications. Other important information such as laminate thermal performance, guidance for understanding data sheet laminate properties, electrical properties and laminate cost considerations will be presented to increase your knowledge and stimulate your questions for our expert speaker.
Speaker 2: Dan Diesel, Chief Information Officer and Business Strategist, Insulectro
Designers are also faced with selecting the correct laminate type based on the material availability and the need for speed of delivery for the program. Dan Diesel will share what is being done in the market to continue to drive faster delivery speed and providing information to the designer regarding material availability and lead times.

The Chemical Connection: Surface Finishes for PCBs
03/31/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWriting about surface finishes brings a feeling of nostalgia. You see, one of my first jobs in the industry was providing technical support for surface cleaning processes and finishes to enhance dry film adhesion to copper surfaces. I’d like to take this opportunity to revisit the basics, indulge in my nostalgia, and perhaps provide some insight into why we do things the way we do them in the here and now.
