Insulectro’s Technology Village to Feature 30 Powerchats at IPC APEX EXPO
January 19, 2023 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 4 minutes
Insulectro, the largest distributor of materials used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards and printed electronics, has announced its schedule of the popular and successful 13.5 minute power chats during this year’s IPC APEX EXPO at the San Diego Convention Center, January 24-26, 2023.
This year, Insulectro is presenting a new concept for the tradeshow with the entire 1800 sqft megabooth being designed as a Technology Village complete with “storefronts” occupied by suppliers and a “Town Square,” home to PowerChats™.
The Insulectro PowerChats™, branded ipc@IPC and presented every 30-minutes, will provide details on many new products, processes and services offered by Insulectro and key suppliers DuPont, Isola, Celanese Micromax™, Denkai America, EMD Electronics, Pacothane Technologies, InduBond®, and Kyocera, plus special presentations by Altium, Polar, and PCBAA.
“We are pleased to continue our ipc@IPC - Insulectro Power Chats,” commented Ken Parent, Chief Operating Officer, “Our outstanding expert presenters have crafted short, info-packed learning sessions to be presented during IPC APEX EXPO. In 13.5 minutes per topic, attendees will learn the WHAT/WHY/HOW on critical topics.
“New products and technologies can change the way a board is designed and fabricated. In our field testing, we’re often hearing ‘We could have never made this board before’,” continued Parent. “We’re anxious to share emerging technologies in very concise power chats in our booth (Space 534).”
Insulectro Vice President of Technology Chris Hunrath (who also hosts the Chats along with well-known design expert Michael Creeden, Insulectro Technology Director) agrees, “Our IPC Power Chats have been enormously popular throughout the years. Often, it’s standing room only. That’s due to the intriguing topics we spotlight in our chats and in our booth. This year is no exception. We have an incredible lineup of topics and presenters. You could spend the day with us every day of the show.”

Designers Notebook: Addressing Future Challenges for Designers
02/06/2025 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board is and will probably continue to be the base platform for most electronics. With the proliferation of new generations of high I/O, fine-pitch surface mount semiconductor package variations, circuit interconnect is an insignificant factor. Circuit board designers continually face challenges such as component quantity and complexity, limited surface area, and meeting the circuit board’s cost target. The printed circuit design engineer’s prominent position demands the development of efficiently manufacturable products that perform without compromise.
