Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Insulectro to Exhibit at Del Mar Electronics Show
May 2, 2022 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

After a two-year hiatus caused by the COVID pandemic, Insulectro, the largest distributor of materials for use in manufacture of printed circuit boards and printed electronics, is exhibiting at the Del Mar Electronics & Manufacturing show May 4 and 5, 2022 in Del Mar, CA.
“Insulectro is looking forward to once again participating in Southern California’s own electronics trade show – the Del Mar Electronics & Manufacturing show held this week at the Del Mar Fairgrounds,” announced Ken Parent, Insulectro Chief Operating Officer, “It’s good to be back!”
The Del Mar Show markets itself as a place to find productive and fun ideas for design, assembly & manufacturing, as well as quality & testing. A smaller show by some standards, this show is renowned for the quality of exhibitors and the technical seminars. The interaction of industry leaders is unmatched.
“Located in space 101 in the Bing Crosby Hall, we are flanked on either side by two of our premier suppliers - Isola and DuPont (which will feature its MCM product line of conductive inks and pastes). Attendees will find spaces 100, 101, and 102 to be the ‘power corner’ of the exhibition,” Parent continued. “With our Design Education program, we have been emphasizing to OEMs, fabricators, and designers the importance of selecting not only the right materials but following through to ensure they are used properly for maximum productivity. We can help with that.
“Our two experts on that subject – Michael Creeden CID+, Technical Director and Laura Martin, Director of Technology – are ready to discuss that with you. Michael is a well-known personality in our industry and an expert on strong, producible designs. Laura has recently joined Insulectro after a lengthy career with Lockheed Martin where she held a variety of high-profile positions. She knows what OEMs expect,” Parent concluded.
The Del Mar Show hours on May 4th from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and May 5th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Attendance is free.
Insulectro supplies advanced engineered materials manufactured by Isola, DuPont®, LCOA®, CAC, Inc., Pacothane, Focus Tech, JX Nippon, TADCO, EMD Performance Materials (Ormet®), Shikoku, Denkai America, Industrial Brush Corporation, Kemmer, InduBond®, and Shur-loc. These products are used by its customers to fabricate complex, multilayer circuit boards and to manufacture printed electronics components. Insulectro serves a broad customer base manufacturing rigid, rigid/flex, and flexible circuit boards for applications in a variety of end markets including aeronautics, telecom, data communications, high speed computing, mobile devices, military, and medical. Insulectro combines its premier product offering with local inventory across North America, fabrication capabilities and backed up by expert customer and technical support services.
