Insulectro to Host OEM Forum ‘Accelerate Development With Accurate Design Data’
November 2, 2020 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Insulectro, the largest distributor of materials for use in the printed circuit board and printed electronics industries, will host an OEM FORUM on Thursday, November 5, at 11:05 am Pacific. The topic is “Accelerate Development with Accurate Design Data.”
Join this 45 minute (or so) session to learn how timely PCB fabrication and assembly can maximize reliability and yield. The session is hosted by veteran technical account manager Ron Murdock and will feature Insulectro co-panelists Mike Creeden and Chris Hunrath.
An immensely popular team, Creeden (CID+ MIT and Technology Director for Design Education) will present the design argument while Vice President of Technology Chris Hunrath CID+ will reinforce with material science perspectives. Hunrath and Creeden have been teaming up for several recent webinars and lunch’n’learns gaining enthusiastic responses. They are Better Together!
This Forum should be of particular interest to OEMs, engineers, and designers looking for superior results from PCB materials. Registration is required to join the sessions and attendees will need to access the Zoom application or website to participate.
The forum will be conducted on the Zoom teleconferencing platform and registration can accessed here.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.

Happy’s Tech Talk #28: The Power Mesh Architecture for PCBs
05/07/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkA significant decrease in HDI substrate production cost can be achieved by reducing the number of substrate layers from conventional through-hole multilayers and microvia multilayers of eight, 10, 12 (and more), down to four. Besides reducing direct processing steps, yield will increase as defect producing operations are eliminated.
