Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Insulectro Brings Power Chats to Booth at IPC APEX EXPO 2016
March 14, 2016 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 4 minutes
Insulectro, a leading distributor of materials for use in the printed circuit board and printed electronics industries, has announced it will repeat its successful 13.5 minute power chats during this year’s IPC APEX EXPO at the Las Vegas Convention Center, March 15 – 17, 2016.
The Insulectro Power Chats, branded ipc@IPC, will provide details on many new products, processes and services that Insulectro plans to introduce in 2016.
“We are pleased to continue our ipc@IPC - Insulectro Power Chats,” commented Ken Parent, Vice President of Sales & Product Management, “We’ve taken our top ten most interesting, new products and processes for 2016 and 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 of these 10 game changers.”
Currently, speakers from manufacturers DuPont, Isola, Oak-Mitsui, and Pacothane will be featured.
“Our new products can change the way a board is designed and fabricated. In our field testing, we’re hearing ‘We could have never made this board before’,” continued Parent. “We’re anxious to share our process information about our offerings in very concise power chats in our booth (Space 534).”
Insulectro Vice President of Technology Chris Hunrath agrees, “Over the past three 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 is no exception. For instance, although IPC APEX is primarily a PCB industry tradeshow, we know many of our customers are interested in printed electronics so we’ve included a 13.5 minute Boot Camp on PE. Other topics include Signal integrity, High Speed Digital. Rf/Microwave, and fine lines/low loss layers as well.”
