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.”

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
