IPC APEX EXPO 2025: A Preview
It’s show time again! If you’re going to Anaheim for IPC APEX EXPO, we’ll see you there. In the meantime, consider this issue of SMT007 Magazine to be part of your planning for the show—your golden ticket, if you will. With everything that is shifting to a “new normal” of sorts, ranging from global geopolitical realignments to new materials and component packaging, it is critical to keep informed. The wide variety of opportunities: committees, conferences, professional development, presentations, and vendors, all so readily available in the same place at the same time, delivers a giant jumpstart to updating your expertise. And that is why we devote an entire issue to this event each year.
The March 2025 issue highlights many (but not all; there simply isn’t room for them all) of the events scheduled for APEX, including standards committee work; new standards development; technical programs; networking events; professional development programs; industry leader summits; awards banquets; and keynote presentations. We promise that, if you attend and engage, you will return to work better informed and prepared for your professional role.

The Key to First-pass Success in PCB Design
04/10/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectIn the dynamic world of PCB manufacturing, achieving first-pass success hinges on more than just cutting-edge equipment and skilled teams. At Summit Interconnect, we have seen countless successful launches of advanced HDI designs that can be traced directly to engagement between designers and fabricators early in the design phase. Unfortunately, collaboration in the PCB industry often begins only after problems arise—such as field failures, assembly fallout, or low fabrication yields. This reactive approach is the wrong starting point for collaboration.
