Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Advanced Circuit Boards Workshop in UK June 27
June 15, 2018 | IMAPS-UKEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

On June 27, IMAPS-UK, with the support of the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), will hold a one day workshop/colloquia on the topic of advanced circuit boards. Attendees will learn about specialist substrates, PCB design theory and methods for pushing the envelope with the latest design rules, and much more.
The workshop will cover all aspects of PCBs and other substrates for advanced applications where miniaturisation, shape, current handling, speed, signal integrity and challenging environments are affecting your application.

Tips to Master the ‘Black Magic’ of RF Design
05/01/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007For this issue on RF design, I reached out to Zach Peterson, founder of Northwest Engineering Solutions, an engineering design services company in Portland, Oregon. You can find some of Zach’s RF design presentations on YouTube; he does a great job breaking down these complex ideas for PCB designers who are new to the RF side of things. I asked Zach to discuss the challenges facing RF designers, the relevant material considerations, and the layout tips and techniques that can help RF designers master this “black magic” technology.

Elementary Mr. Watson: Navigating RF—A Glide Path Approach to Design Success
04/24/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonOn a flight, I can always tell when we begin our descent because that subtle drop in my stomach tells me the altitude has changed. Landing an airplane involves a gradual, precise process called the glide path. It descends at the correct speed and 3-degree angle to touch down smoothly and safely on the runway without bouncing or coming to a sudden stop. Pilots use specialized tools like the Instrument Landing System (ILS) or GPS to stay on the correct path. Lights on the ground, called PAPI lights, help pilots know if they are too high or too low.
Designers Notebook: Layer Stackup Planning for RF Circuit Boards
