Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

Enigma Interconnect Now AS9100 Aerospace Certified
June 9, 2015 | Enigma InterconnectEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Enigma Interconnect is pleased to announce that it is now fully certified to the AS9100 Aerospace Standards. Enigma’s consistent implementation of best business practices in quality assurance, major investments in technology and exceptional customer service have been recognized as reaching the high standards demanded by such organizations as the Department of Defense, NASA, and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Enigma, which has also held an ISO9001 certification since 1992, has always been a major supplier of bare printed circuit boards to companies serving the aerospace industry. When tier-one aircraft manufacturers challenged their avionics providers and key-component supply chain partners to attain the more stringent AS9100 certification, Engima seized the opportunity to institute further improvements to its quality management system.
“Our AS9100 certification comes at a time when many PCB manufacturing companies in North America find themselves at a crossroads”, says Mark Pillon, P.Eng, President of Enigma Interconnect. “While some companies chose to downsize or outsource work off-shore, at Enigma we are proud to strive for manufacturing excellence domestically, and have expanded upon the unique strengths that have driven our company’s growth over the past forty years. Following our AS9100 certification, we are already seeing results not only for our avionics customers, but also for customers in every other market sector who seek exceptional products at competitive pricing through improved yield and automation, better quality assurance, higher technology capabilities, and faster response times.”
Now that Enigma has achieved this major milestone, the company is planning many other new and exciting improvements to meet the changing needs of both its current and future customers.

SMTA Ultra HDI Symposium, Day 1: AI at the Core or Out of the Game
04/13/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It was a beautiful 81°F morning in Arizona last Wednesday as I headed to the third annual SMTA Ultra HDI Symposium, focused on AI and ultra high density interconnect technology. Strategically held as part of Arizona’s Tech Week, this year’s conference took place in Avondale in Phoenix's West Valley. The event moved from the cozy offices of the Peoria Sports Complex (which paid homage to baseball’s spring training world) to the larger Avondale Conference Center, highlighting the importance of this area for electronics manufacturing investment.
