FAB SHOUT OUTS:
MATERIALS
MAKE
THE DIFFERENCE

“Being able to confidently confirm to your customer that we do have the needed materials for their project at the quoting stage allows Lenthor to continue to win new programs.”

Insulectro
- as Lenthor Sees Us. . .
We recognized many years ago the
building demand for flex and rigid-flex fabrication and assembly
and needed a plan to ensure that Lenthor was going to be positioned to
meet both the projected future demands
from our existing customer base while still continuing to grow that customer base.
The basic outline of this plan centered on facilities requirements and equipment need. We engaged professional help with the facilities plans and worked closely with our equipment suppliers to identify the right equipment for the technology needs we saw coming. Once we had cleared our minds of these concerns we quickly
realized that without the basic raw materials needed to build to this new expectation our new facility and the equipment housed within it we would never run to its fullest capability
.
This is when
Mark Lencioni
(Lenthor President and CEO) and
Rich Clemente
(Lenthor GM) called in our local Insulectro team,
Patrick Redfern, Steve Piatt and Chris Hunrath
, to help us
solve our supply chain questions.
Building on
a relationship of over 30 years Insulectro and Lenthor
worked together to identify the gaps not only in inventory levels but also to identify
which materials might see growth in demand
and which new materials Lenthor should be engaged with.
To help solve the inventory level issues,
Insulectro proposed forecast driven supply levels
to be stored at Insulectro. We together
introduced a cleaner purchasing cycle
with set demand levels and material pull systems that allowed Lenthor to
maintain a lean inventory condition on site with Insulectro making system driven deliveries
.
Today, we are
engaged with Insulectro on a more ERP driven format
that would allow Lenthor to understand its material inventory availability at initial customer interface.
Lenthor Engineering
looks forward to continued growth
. With that growth,
we fully expect Insulectro to be there right along with us
helping to identify future material demands from both a technical position as well as continuing to evolve on the inventory supply side.

Ken Parent Speaks Out!
Insulectro -
Visibility into the Future
Visibility into the future has always been as elusive as the fountain of youth.
Today I write this knowing we are
finishing 2019 - very strong
- after a summer of wondering when the stronger market was going to kick in. Insulectro survives on the
fast delivery of the materials you will need for your customers today, tomorrow, and next month
. Our investment, in people, over the last 18 months, has been heavily weighted to provide us
better tools for looking forward and planning for our mutual success
.
As we plan for 2020, we are
faced with challenges that are a result of strong demand
on top of shifting technology needs and material supply challenges, both facing us and our competitors on multiple levels. The
need for our High-Speed Digital, RF, and Flexible laminates has been growing rapidly.
Knowing what you will need in the future is more important today than it has ever been. Our critical mission for the next few weeks is to get as much
intelligence about the programs driving your success so we can be more effective at supplying your needs
.
With that said, if only I had a dollar for every time I have heard and repeated
“This is a quick turn market. We have no visibility into the orders we are getting tomorrow."
As we dig deeper into this challenge, we are finding that with great collaboration there is some predictability that makes it possible to plan better. Insulectro will continue to
strive for the better predictors of the future, challenge our teammates to learn as much as possible about your future needs and require ourselves to improve our accuracy of knowing what you will need tomorrow, and next month
.
We will also
continue to invest in inventory at all 11 of our stocking locations
to better service you. In turn, we will help our manufacturers better support your business by giving them
faster feedback on the shifting markets
allowing them to flex for tomorrows demands.
Thank you for working with us to plan better for your future needs.

Isola's I-Tera® MT40
Passes Vigorous Testing to Qualify for Use
|
|
I-Tera® MT40 has recently passed a demanding qualification vehicle
by a leading North American fabricator. This .155” thick, 32 layer design containing various copper thicknesses from half ounce to two ounce layers, successfully passed 8X and 10X 260C reflow cycles and CAF resistance down to .8mm pitch with 144 nets total.
CAF coupons were tested as received, after 8X and 10X and preconditioning of 65C / 85RH.
I-Tera® MT40 is suitable for many of today’s high speed digital and RF/microwave printed circuit designs.
I-Tera MT40 features a dielectric constant (Dk) that is stable between -55°C and +125°C up to W-band frequencies.
In addition, I-Tera® MT40 offers a lower dissipation factor (Df) of 0.0031 making it a
cost effective alternative to PTFE
and other commercial microwave and high-speed digital laminate materials.
You can see why i get excited!

DuPont Pyralux® AG - Superior Flex Laminate, Readily Available
|
|
The key to flex circuitry is…flexibility.
Seems obvious, but to have a dielectric material that has “bendability”, enough x-y stability to make complex circuity, and withstand assembly reflow is a challenge.
The last four decades, polyimide film, and more specifically Kapton® has made flex circuitry a reality.
Kapton® is different
than other polyimide resins in
how it’s crosslinked and how it retains its flexibility
. For flex, it does in a sense replace the function of fiberglass in rigid pcb’s (x-y stability, z-axis stop, etc.).
One of the best advancements in flex materials was the development of
Pyralux® AP
. Similar in structure to Kapton®, it allows direct bonding of the copper foil to the polyimide film without the use of sputtering or an adhesive of some sort. Pyralux® AP is now entering it’s 25
th
year and has been
used in everything from spacecraft to surgical instruments
.
Pyralux® AP is a sheet laminated product, allowing for a
huge variety of thicknesses and copper foil types
. It is however limited in size by the lamination systems.
Enter roll clad products
. They have for all practical purposes unlimited length. This makes them
well suited for very long circuits or “reel to reel” high volume manufacturing
.
DuPont has introduced
a new roll clad product in the US, Pyralux® AG
. Like AP, it is an
all polyimide construction
and
comes standard with rolled annealed copper foil
. This is ideal for prototypes that will eventually move to
high volume production
and has the added benefit of applications
where very long circuit lengths are required
.
Insulectro will be bringing in sheets
. Constructions are 1 mil polyimides with 12 micron or 18 micron (1/2 oz) copper; 2 mil polyimide constructions are available with 18 micron copper. Rolls will be available as well for longer circuits and volume production.
Let us know your interest in Pyralux® AG and how we can help.

DuPont LDI7275:
Eliminate Trapped Resist Due to Overplating
|
|
Today’s high plating requirements and tight features are leading to more and more trapped resist in isolated areas. We have researched and tested many different dryfilms, chemistries, and equipment setups.
All though many of the factors had an effect on the amount of trapped resist, only 1 factor eliminated it completely. That is
3mil dryfilm.
We have come up with a basic matrix for maximum plating capability in isolated areas.
- 2mil resist for up to 2.5mils of overall plating
- 2.5mil resist for up to 3mils or overall plating
- 3mil resist for up to 4mils of overall plating
- 4mil resist for up to 5mils of overall plating
99% of all isolated plating falls under 4mils.
|
|
For
3mil dryflim
we recommend
Dupont GM130
for conventional imaging, and
LDI7275
for direct imaging applications.
If you want to eliminate trapped resist, contact me.

Are you losing space for you lines and spaces?
As technology increases PCB Manufacturers can be
pressed to produce finer features and deal with multiple plating steps
. CAC enables PCB Manufacturers to deal with those finer features by
starting with thinner copper
.
CAC is “THE” way to handle copper foil down to 9 microns with out damage
. CAC also protects your critical surfaces to gain in yields on multiple plating steps by eliminating defects on laminated surfaces.
If you have the need for finer lines and would like to take advantage of thin foils as a starting point give me a call to learn about making your PCB’s with CAC technology!
Guess what? I'm foiled again!

Safety on the job
It's a Core Value for Insulectro
|
|
The benefits of workplace safety are overwhelming. A great workplace Safety program can transform a company and its’ employees into a team of people with a common goal.
The obvious wins related to a safer working environment are the reduction/elimination of injury and death.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 5,147 workers killed on the job in 2017. That’s approximately 14 deaths per day. The number of nonfatal injuries reported in 2017 was approximately 2.8 million.
Other positive results that come from a safe working environment include:
- Increased worker productivity
- Improved service or Quality of the product
- Improved corporate reputation / public relations
There is also a financial impact related to safety.
An unsafe workplace will bring corporate and personal financial loss as well as property damage. In order for a company to survive and employ people, it must be profitable. Death & injury impact the company financially. It is in the best interest for both employee and employer to put safety first, minimize risk to life and therefore reduce financial loss and property damage.
Establishing good safety practices including training, education and the appropriate safety supplies (PPE) is a win for everybody.
