Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Insulectro, Isola, EMD and DuPont Set to Engage IPC Attendees With Powerful Power Chats
January 30, 2020 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Insulectro, the largest distributor of materials for use in the printed circuit board and printed electronics industries, has announced a blow-out schedule of its highly anticipated 13.5-minute power chats in cooperation with DuPont, Isola, and EMD Performance Materials during this year’s IPC APEX EXPO at the San Diego Convention Center, February 4-6, 2020.
With top 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 three-quarter round theatre presentation in Insulectro’s new 1800 square foot mega-booth - #4025, 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 suppliers, DuPont, Isola, and EMD by presenting a new topic every 30 minutes” commented Ken Parent, Vice President of Sales & Product Management, “We have 20 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.” The Power Chats will rotate and repeat during the show’s three days of exhibition.
“These key suppliers are 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 our Power Chats 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 many of these presenters and topics to IPC, for the first time, to explore both the far-reaching vision and new processes that are being developed. 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.
All Power Chats are in Space #4025 at IPC APEX EXPO. No sign-up required, and topics are repeated by your convenience. Printed schedules available in Insulectro Booth #4025.

IPC Hall of Fame Spotlight Series: Highlighting Patty Goldman
11/22/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In my first article of this special series, I wrote a synopsis of the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame (HOF) Award, along with a commentary on its first few members, particularly Pritchard. Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded this high honor and recognition. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Patty Goldman.

Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
