I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
October 11, 2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
I just got home from covering the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show and PCB West. I drove my first hybrid car this week; it was the fastest Camry I’ve ever seen, and it got at least 40 miles per gallon. As long as I don’t have to plug anything in, I won’t rule it out. But I know I’d forget to plug in a pureplay EV.
It was great seeing many of you on the West Coast. Everyone was positive about the industry, with the only caveat being, “Where can I find the staff I need to fill my open positions?” It was heartening to see some fresh-faced young engineers at AEMS and PCB West, but we’ll need more where they came from.
This week’s roundup is a duke’s mixture of news items and interviews with industry experts from design, fabrication and assembly. There’s a lot going on in electronics now. We’ll be bringing you full coverage of SMTA International the week of Oct. 20-24, so stay tuned.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
10/04/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineFall presents us with a lot of tradeshow activity, such as the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show, which kicked off the month in California. Our intrepid managing editor Andy Shaughnessy has been on the scene and I look forward to hearing more about the show from him. Next week, we’ll be at PCB West in the Bay Area, followed by SMTAI in Chicago the following week. For me, it feels like a proper launch into standard Q4 craziness highlighted by the end-of-year sales hustle and frenetic finalization of 2025 budgets. October also brings a stark reminder that the holiday season will soon be upon us. So, let the crazy begin.
