Insulectro Tees Up Signal Integrity Product Arsenal at Designcon
January 13, 2016 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Insulectro, a leading distributor of materials for use in the printed circuit board and printed electronics industries, has announced its plan to speak directly to PCB designers’ greatest challenge – signal integrity – during next week’s DesignCon in Santa Clara, CA (January 21-22). Insulectro can be found in space #414.
Attendees will learn first hand about signal loss solutions as Insulectro aggregates products from their suppliers Isola, DuPont, Oak-Mitsui, CAC Inc., and Ormet Circuits.
“This is a very strategic show for the PCB industry,” said Ken Parent, Insulectro Vice President of Sales, “It’s located right in the heart of Silicon Valley and attracts all members of the supply chain – from suppliers to fabricators, plus designers and OEMs. We are fortunate to have 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 agrees, “Engineers and designers attend DesignCon looking for solutions to the continual challenge of signal loss. We hope to engage the attendees and discuss their issues and introduce them to the material solutions we provide.
“They will see some interesting new laminate materials from Isola designed for high speed applications as well as high-quality electrodeposited copper from one of our newest suppliers – Oak-Mitsui,” Hunrath continued. “We have knowledge and experience with many different materials used in PCB construction and are expert at how they work together. A broad range of dielectrics, foils, interconnecting pastes and imaging technologies enables us to offer systems to different design requirements.”
Parent added, “There’s a new no-glass solution for rigid, fine-line applications being introduced by one of our top-flight suppliers at the show and we’ll also focus on the exciting possibilities of Ormet Sintering Paste – a lead-free paste that is highly electrically and thermally conductive and cures to form a solid metallurgical bond.
“Stop by our booth, #414, at DesignCon 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 Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
