Insulectro Advances Signal Integrity Product Arsenal at PCB West
September 13, 2016 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Insulectro, the largest distributor of materials for use in the printed circuit board and printed electronics industries, will speak directly to PCB fabricators’ greatest challenge—signal integrity—during PCB West Conference & Exhibition in Santa Clara, California, September 13-15. Insulectro can be found in space #212.
Attendees will learn first-hand about signal loss solutions as Insulectro aggregates and presents products from their key suppliers: Isola, DuPont, Oak-Mitsui, CAC Inc., and EMD Ormet.
“PCB West is an important show for the PCB industry,” said Ken Parent, Insulectro Vice President of Sales and Product Management, “It’s presented right in the heart of Silicon Valley and attracts all members of the supply chain, from suppliers to fabricators, plus designers and OEMs. Insulectro has been a major player in Northern California for many years. It’s a perfect opportunity for us to showcase the incredible array of products we offer that help to maximize signal integrity.”
Vice President of Technology Chris Hunrath added, “We know our customers are looking for solutions to the continual challenge of signal loss. We hope to engage the attendees and discuss their issues and introduce them to cutting edge materials.”
Parent continued, “For the first time, we are pleased to be exhibiting with Isola to showcase our new supplier/distributor dynamic. Isola is exhibiting adjacent to us in space #210 and we’ve dropped the curtain between us to offer a seamless experience for attendees. Guests visiting our combined space will learn about Isola’s unique laminate materials designed for high speed applications and the mitigation of signal loss. Also, unique to this PCB West show, Insulectro will be spotlighting DuPont’s new Interra™ brand thin copper clad laminates in our booth, presented by Glenn Oliver, senior engineer at DuPont Electronics.”
Hunrath added, “Plus, it will be a great time to learn about high-quality electrodeposited copper from one of our newest suppliers, Oak-Mitsui.”
“Stop by Isola’s and Insulectro’s booths, #210 and #212, at PCB West and get acquainted with us and the best-in-class products we offer. And don’t forget, technical service is an important part of the Insulectro difference. We have a complete staff of field application engineers ready to work with you on solutions that are on-time, on-target, and on-budget,” Ken Parent concluded.

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
