January 27, 2020 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Insulectro, the largest distributor of materials for use in printed circuit boards (PCB) and Printed Electronics manufacturing, will exhibit at the 2020 DesignCon technical conference at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Wednesday, January 29 and Thursday, January 30. Insulectro is located in space #1345.
“I’m pleased to announce that next week we are once again exhibiting at DesignCon in Silicon Valley,” commented Ken Parent, Vice President of Sales and Product Management for Insulectro. “This an extremely important show for us as it serves to acquaint attendees, especially designers and engineers, with Insulectro’s best-in-class product and service offerings.
“At this show, Insulectro will introduce its new Design & Education program. It's a chance for the entire supply chain—fabricators, designers, engineers, and OEMs—to understand our new, groundbreaking program that connects shops that need design with Insulectro's consortium of top-flight design houses—San Diego PCB Design and Freedom CAD,” Parent commented.
An important part of Insulectro’s initiative is Education. Insulectro's program provides the following services:
- Material Recommendations
- Stack-up Suggestions for Flex, Rigid-Flex, HDI, RF, SI, & DFX
- Design Reviews
- Manufacturing Interface
- Design Layout Outsource
Insulectro's three design experts—Michael Creeden CID+ MIT, Megan Teta CID+, and Chris Hunrath CID+ —will available to discuss the program in detail.
Parent continued, “This is an exciting new initiative for us. We have definitely found a need for what we offer. With the recent hire of well-known design instructor Mike Creeden, the industry is taking notice of what we are doing.
“We’re committed to recruiting and hiring superstar teammates to join an already exceptional team armed with best-of-range products and services. Expert people, outstanding products—it’s a winning combination.” Parent concluded.

Rethinking Stackup, Materials, and Tolerances in Modern Designs
05/14/2026 | Kristin Moyer, Global Electronics AssociationThe simple rectangular rigid PCB is becoming increasingly infrequent. This reality necessitates designing with concepts well outside traditional rigid PCB methodologies. For example, the designer of wearable electronics may need to implement conductive fibers integrated into the textile material. Heads-up displays, like those in VR/AR headsets and glasses, require transparent circuitry etched into the display glass. The process of designing without a rule book usually starts with something other than the traditional board design process.

Road to Reliability: Engineering High Uptime EV Charging Infrastructure
05/13/2026 | Stanton Rak, SF Rak CompanyThe transition to EVs is no longer constrained solely by vehicle capability. Instead, it is increasingly defined by a simpler, but more unforgiving question: Will the charger work when I arrive? This high uptime does not happen by accident. As EV technology has matured, limitations in battery range, power electronics, and thermal management are no longer the primary barriers to adoption.
