Insulectro and Dupont to Engage Attendees with Power Chats
January 22, 2019 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Insulectro has announced a blow-out schedule of its highly anticipated 13.5-minute power chats in cooperation with DuPont during this year’s IPC APEX EXPO at the San Diego Convention Center, January 29-31, 2019.
With top DuPont execs and engineers presenting on such breakthrough topics as 5G, Automotive, and Highly Reliable Films and Laminates, the Insulectro Power Chats, branded ipc@IPC, will be presented in a brand-new three-quarter round theatre presentation in Insulectro’s new 1800 square foot mega-booth—#625, the largest exhibit in the suppliers and materials section.
“We are pleased to take our IPC@IPC - Insulectro Power Chats, to the next level with our valued supplier, DuPont,” commented Ken Parent, vice president of sales & product management, “DuPont has developed six amazing presentations that should be of top interest to fabricators and OEMs. The Chats are topical, short, info-packed learning sessions presented by experts in the field during IPC APEX EXPO. In 13.5 minutes per Chat, attendees will learn the WHAT/WHY/HOW of these industry game changers.”
“DuPont is leading the pack with cutting edge engineering on new technologies that are expected to have a major impact on everyone’s life,” stated Michelle Walsh, Insulectro director of product management, who also moderates the sessions, “to accommodate the demand these sessions are likely to generate, we’ve increased our exhibit space substantially to create a theatrical environment for presenter and audience alike.
“We’re delighted to bring the presenters and topics to IPC, for the first time, to explore both the far-reaching vision and new processes that are being developed by the New DuPont. It’s a great chance to experience how an industry pioneer thinks about the future. Over the past seven years our IPC Power Chats have been enormously popular. Often times, it’s standing room only. That’s due to the intriguing topics we spotlight in our chats and in our booth. This year promises to be no exception,” Walsh concluded.

Tax Policy Update from IPC: The House Tax Bill, and What It Means for Electronics Manufacturers
05/20/2025 | IPCOn May 13, the House Ways and Means Committee advanced a major tax package that includes several provisions supported by IPC. These provisions—including restoring bonus depreciation, immediate R&D expensing, and strengthening the pass-through deduction—were identified by IPC members as key tools that would help them invest, grow, and compete more effectively.
Zero Touch Data Package: The Future of Seamless PCB Manufacturing
05/22/2025 | Dana Korf, Victory Giant TechnologyImagine a day when a design data file—not a traditional documentation package—is output directly from the eCAD system, transmitted to selected fabricators, and automatically loaded into their engineering/CAM systems, initiating tooling and production without any human intervention. This is zero touch data transfer in action. By eliminating manual processes, front-end personnel at fabrication facilities can be redeployed to strategic areas such as R&D and customer engagement.
Trouble in Your Tank: Yield Improvement and Reliability
05/22/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere’s a simple rule of business in manufacturing: “It is all about yields.” Higher yields for your products allow for increased profits and satisfied customers. When there are lower yields, overall cost to manufacture increases, and the additional time and strain on the factory floor affect the entire operation. Lower yields are often the result of “process drift,” when critical process parameters and specialized plating additives fall outside their acceptable ranges.
