Current IssueDon’t Just Survive, Thrive
If we are to be relevant and prosper during these next critical decades in electronics, we must do more than survive. As an industry, we can and must thrive. In this issue, our contributors explore these concepts meant to help you take your business to the next level.
Material Matters
Materials management is nuanced, multifaceted, and requires a holistic systems approach for business success. When building high mix, low volume, and high technology, managing materials and overall cost containment are even greater challenges.
Additive Manufacturing
In this month’s issue, we explore additive manufacturing technology for the PCB fabricator: where it stands today, the true benefits, and where it seems to be headed.

Arlon EMD Expands Distribution with AMS Products
February 3, 2017 | Arlon EMDEstimated reading time: 1 minute
On December 21, 2016 Arlon EMD (Arlon) announced an agreement with Doosan-Electro Materials to distribute Doosan’s DS600 flexible copper-clad laminates in North America, as well as Doosan’s high Tg FR-4 and halogen-free laminate and prepreg product lines.
In addition, Arlon is expanding their long-standing partnership with AMS Products, Inc., (AMS) to include distribution of the Arlon and Doosan product lines in the states of Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington. “Arlon and AMS have a strong relationship and a 15-year history of successfully working together. It is only natural that Arlon and AMS should expand their respective product lines. We will make Doosan products fully available to AMS throughout their territory,” commented Brad Foster, VP and General Manager of Arlon EMD.
AMS brings an in-depth knowledge of Arlon’s full line of products as well as strong technical sales skills to enhance support of fabricator customers. In addition to Arlon and Doosan laminate materials, AMS’s product line portfolio includes Kyocera, MacDermid Enthone, Sun Chemical, Multiline, Accusystems, ATG, Miva, and Camtek. “AMS is excited to expand our Arlon relationship with the addition of Doosan laminates and flex materials. These products from Doosan Electro Materials allow AMS to provide our customers with a broader range of laminates for the Rigid, Rigid-Flex and Flex PCB markets," commented Sach Pasarnikar, President of AMS Products.
About AMS Products, Inc.: AMS is a privately held US distributor and manufacturer’s representative of printed circuit board equipment and materials. AMS has been in business for 17 years and is headquartered in Carlsbad, California.
About Arlon: Arlon EMD is a privately held, veteran owned, US manufacturer and distributor of specialty materials. Arlon has supplied materials for the N. American, UK and European markets for more than 25 years from their manufacturing location in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

Trouble in Your Tank: Materials for PWB Fabrication—Drillability and Metallization
07/16/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankLaminate materials are the building blocks on which printed circuit boards are manufactured. Circuit board designers rely on the critical electrical properties of the materials to design the interconnects, and with the drive toward IoT (internet of things), autonomous driving, and virtual and augmented reality, material properties take on a very high level of importance.
Beyond Prepreg: The Glassless ‘Revolution’
06/25/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineAs our industry rallies around the call to action for HDI and UHDI, we find unparalleled and myriad laminate options. This abundance is rivaled only by the question surrounding them: Can they measure up to the high technology packaging demands required in our near future? Unsurprisingly, recent developments in FR-4-esque materials for high-speed and high-density designs, as well as newer, glassless technology for replacing traditional glass-impregnated laminates and prepreg, are garnering much interest. I caught up with Alun Morgan, technology ambassador for Ventec International Group, to ask about the impending “glassless revolution” and how it’s poised to solve some of our manufacturing challenges.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Lamination and Materials
06/19/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsAs many of you have likely figured out, I am quite passionate about the subject of designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. I wrote a book about it and I participate in an I-Connect007 On the Line with… podcast series dedicated to the subject. This companion article will focus on multilayer lamination, keeping the bigger picture in mind: Realistic PCB designs should prioritize manufacturability and reliability of the PCB as well as meet the other design requirements. So, one must account for the production variables associated with individual manufacturing partners.
Day 2: A Full Day at the EIPC Summer Conference
06/19/2024 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Editor's note: This is the third and final report from the EIPC Summer Conference. It was a bright and early start to the second day of the 2024 EIPC Summer Conference at the European Space Centre, Noordwijk, The Netherlands, June 4-5. A short journey by bus from the hotel in Leiden and our security passes from the day before got us through the gate and to our seats in the Newton Room for Session 4, “Material Studies,” moderated by Martyn Gaudion.
