Insulectro Leverages One Source Distribution for Printed Electronic Materials at IDTechEx
November 18, 2019 | InsulectroEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Insulectro, the largest distributor of PCB and printed electronics materials, will exhibit in booth V37 at IDTECHEX’s Printed Electronics World 2019 conference held this week, November 20-22, in Santa Clara, CA at the Convention Center.
Insulectro Printed Electronics offers advanced materials from such leading suppliers such as DuPont, Coveme, FLEXcon, Saint-Gobain, Chromaline, 3M and Kodak to sell conductive inks, substrates, and consumables.
Insulectro distributes key DuPont polymer thick film paste products to U.S. customers in the thin film photovoltaic, wearables, capacitive switch, touch screen, RFID smart card, heating and membrane touch switch markets. In addition, Insulectro Printed Electronics distributes carbon conductors, UV dielectrics, fired-on inks and in-mold systems on behalf of DuPont.
Kevin Miller, vice president of sales for Insulectro Printed Electronics, commented, “We are excited to showcase our products at Printed Electronics World. We are a one-source supplier for PE manufacturers with our complete offerings of essential and cutting edge materials. With 11 stocking locations throughout North America, we are where our customers are. We developed a strong sales and service model on Insulectro’s PCB-side of our business over a long period of years. That wealth of knowledge transfers readily to printed electronics. Now, Insulectro’s Printed Electronics Division is making a difference in that industry.”
Recently, Insulectro was named distributor for DuPont’s innovative In-Mold electronic inks.
Miller continued, “In-Mold conductive inks are a perfect union of form and function. The technology combines an innovative, more stretchable material with dramatic advancements in electronic ink to give interface designers new creative freedom, without any compromise in meeting functional switching needs. And because these new electronic inks work with existing in-mold decorative processes, there’s no need for costly re-tooling. Fabricators can create products with greater eye appeal, simplicity, and performance—all at the same time.”
In addition to the inks, Insulectro will be exhibiting some exceptional substrates from Italian manufacturer Coveme. Coveme’s technology introduces in the market a new solution based on a high deep thermoforming bi-oriented polyester film with special coating on both sides that enhances printability, scratch resistance and formability.
“Coveme’s Kemafoil® KTF HC and HCH is clear Bi-oriented thermoformable polyester film, treated one or two sides. KTF HC is treated outside with a dual cure coating with abrasion and scratch resistance after UV curing,” Miller stated.
Insulectro Printed Electronics’ Product Specialist David Schneider is excited about the array of conductive inks offered, “DuPont is the predominant manufacturer of silver, copper, carbon, and dielectric inks. Insulectro’s got them all. Whether your application is membrane touch switches or printable heaters, there is an advanced material for your needs. And, in the wearables market, stretchable inks are rewriting the electronics gamebook. In our booth, you’ll see real examples of cutting-edge technologies available today.”
Miller added, “There’s lots of excitement this year for Insulectro Printed Electronics. Stop by our booth, V37, at IDTECHEX’s Printed Electronics World 2019 and let’s get acquainted. Wherever you are manufacturing printed electronics – Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas, Silicon Valley, Southern California, Denver, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Northwest, Northeast or Mid-Atlantic and Toronto, Ontario – we are there to service you.”

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.
Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?
