New Podcast! PCB Materials: The Backbone and Future of Electronics with Isola President Sean Mirshafiei

Isola partnered with I-Connect007 in 2026 to create a six-part podcast series titled PCB Materials: The Backbone and Future of Electronics. The series features Isola President Sean Mirshafiei and Marcy LaRont of I-Connect007 and focuses on the critical role PCB base materials play in product reliability, manufacturability, and long-term performance.

 

In the first episode, “Material Selection—The Key to Manufacturing Success,” Sean discusses how evolving technology demands are shaping the development of new material solutions and highlights Isola’s role in supporting today’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem. He also shares insight into Isola’s current material portfolios designed to address increasingly stringent requirements, particularly in harsh-environment reliability, signal integrity, and power performance.

 

“This new series is designed to help engineers, fabricators, and decision-makers better understand the fundamentals that most directly impact manufacturing outcomes,” says LaRont. “And it starts where successful builds begin: material selection.”

 

The six-part series will continue with episodes focused on key topics shaping today’s PCB fabrication and manufacturing landscape.

 

Listeners can now access the episode via I-Connect007’s podcast platform, or through Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
