Electrochemical Corrosion Failure Modes In PWBs Isola

When it comes to manufacturing high-quality products, material selection is one of the most important decisions you can make. While it may seem like a minor detail, the choice of materials significantly impacts a product’s lifespan, durability, and functionality. Not all materials are created equal,…

I recently toured Isola’s new 118,000-squarefoot low-volume, high-mix manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona. The facility’s construction began in 2020 and, like many building projects, was delayed because of the COVID19 pandemic.

Growing use of millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies for applications such as automotive radars, Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks, and satellite communications (satcom) mandates careful selection of printed-circuit-board (PCB) materials specially formulated to transmit signals at frequencies to 70 GHz and higher. At the same time, digital…
