I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

June 5, 2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007

It’s Friday, the sun is out here in Arizona, and AI is on my mind (and always in the news). So, AI seems like a good place for me to focus this week. My first recommendation for this week is an article I wrote about the e-glass (and copper foil) shortage now plaguing laminate and PCB fabricators as a result of the global market’s very heavy focus on AI-related tech, hardware products, and supporting infrastructure.

Over the last two to three decades, the electronics industry has experienced a significant transformation. Circuit card assembly (CCA) and printed circuit board (PCB) design have become highly automated and digitized, allowing for faster development and increased design reuse. Engineers can now easily build on existing, proven architectures. Despite these advancements, one key area often falls behind: test and inspection.
