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.

Unitech, Dynamic Doing Well With Multiple Niche PCB Applications
October 14, 2019 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Taiwan-based PCB makers Unitech and Dynamic Electronics have outperformed other local second-tier peers, as their efforts in developing diverse niche applications are paying off significantly.
Unitech, now in the supply chain of rigid-flex boards for AirPods, has seen its revenues grow steadily since the launch of AirPods 2 in early 2019. The company sees AirPods-use boards contribute 30-40% of its revenues. The company has also started shipments of battery boards for iPhone 11 series and will deliver boards for auto-use camera lens and radar modules starting in early 2020.
Dynamic has enjoyed steady increases in demand for HDI boards from three major application segments: auto-use camera and radar modules as well as LiDAR and entertainment systems, optoelectronics-use HDI for tablets, and memory module boards for use at datacenters.
