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.

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.”

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.
