One of the most common assumptions PCB designers make when investigating ultra HDI (UHDI) technology is that every layer must be built with ultra-fine geometries using semi-additive processing (SAP) ...
Stackups can range from the simplest four-layer PCB to complex stackups requiring sequential lamination. Let's take the humble four-layer PCB. PCB designers not familiar with fabrication may be ...
Supply chain disruptions may be inevitable, but the ability to design around them doesn’t have to be an afterthought. If it feels like supply chains are back in the headlines again, that’s because ...
From test coupons and burn-in chambers to ICT and flying probes, effective factory testing is essential for delivering reliable products and maintaining process control. Factory testing comes in ...
Thousands of attendees gathered at ECTC to explore the latest advances in advanced packaging, AI-driven design, heterogeneous integration and thermal management. More than 2,700 attendees conversed ...
One of the PCB design community’s greatest talents is hiding in plain sight. Ask a room full of high school students what they want to be when they grow up and you'll hear doctor, lawyer, engineer, ...
The Printed Circuit Engineering Association (PCEA) this fall will feature a dedicated program of electronics assembly tracks at PCB West, including 10 presentations led by leading practitioners in ...
Knowing which PCB specification changes require new tooling and which do not can help designers and buyers reduce nonrecurring engineering costs while avoiding unnecessary delays. NRE (nonrecurring ...
That’s how long I’ve sat in this chair as an editor for this publication. Long enough that a reader or two out there was born right about the time I took the job, in January 2000, first as editor in ...
Firan Technology Group officially opened a new aerospace manufacturing facility in Hyderabad to expand production of high-technology printed circuit boards and assemblies. Operating as FTG Aerospace ...
Despite rapid advances in artificial intelligence, humanoid robots still face major hurdles in mobility, communication and energy efficiency. With all the attention, headlines, discussion, ...
High-performance computing has moved out of its niche to become a mainstream requirement and continues to rely on human skills to deliver its optimum potential. Historically, supercomputing has been a ...
