ITL Circuits Completes Isola's Certification Program
June 19, 2015 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Isola Group, a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepreg materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), today announced that ITL Circuits has completed Isola's Certification Program. Isola's technical services team audited ITL to confirm that its manufacturing operations conform to the standards established in IPC-A-600, "Acceptability of Printed Boards" and to IPC-6012, "Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards." These IPC standards set forth the criteria for PCB workmanship, providing comprehensive acceptance criteria for all types of surface and internal conditions of PCBs. The Isola Certification Program recognizes that ITL is now qualified to build high-layer count PCBs using Isola's I-Speed materials.
Fred Hickman, Senior Director of High Speed Digital Products at Isola stated, "ITL's qualification on I-Speed materials is a win-win for both companies. I-Speed is a uniquely positioned high-speed digital product that has excellent electrical and thermal properties. It has also shown best in class performance on a variety of different CAF coupons. I-Speed materials are priced very competitively in the mid-to-low loss market space. I-Speed IS, a low-Dk glass version of the material, is available for OEMs needing additional improvements in insertion loss and skew mitigation for higher data-rate applications."
As a benefit of Isola's Certification, ITL will receive direct factory support, product training and immediate access to Isola's entire product line. As Isola introduces new materials to support emerging markets and applications, OEMs may require additional technical support to migrate to these new materials. OEMs can rely on the credibility and expertise of certified PCB fabricators, such as ITL, to assist with the migration to new materials.
George Papas, Engineering Manager at ITL Circuits states, "The certification will allow us to expand our raw material selection in the high-speed digital market. We look forward to using this material."

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.
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?
