Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

Insulectro Advances Signal Integrity Product Arsenal at PCB West
September 11, 2017 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Insulectro, the largest distributor of materials for use in the printed circuit board and printed electronics industries, has announced its plan to speak directly to PCB fabricator’s greatest challenge – signal integrity – during the PCB West show at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Northern California (September 12-14). Insulectro can be found in space #615 during the Exhibition on Wednesday, September 13 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
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 agrees, “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, “Again this year, we are pleased to be exhibiting with Isola to showcase our strong supplier/distributor dynamic. Isola is exhibiting adjacent to us in space #613 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.
“Stop by Isola’s and Insulectro’s booths, #613 and #615, 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.
