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.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Simberian to Launch Accelerated Simbeor THz Software at DesignCon 2017
January 25, 2017 | SimberianEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Simberian Inc. will present and exhibit at the DesignCon 2017 conference and exhibition, January 31 – February 2 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Simberian will be presenting Simbeor THz electromagnetic signal integrity software updated with multiple features and accelerated with the cost-effective distributed grid computing. Simberian’s technology is recognized at DesignCon 2017 with nominations for two prestigious industry awards.
Simberian, an industry leader in electromagnetic simulation technology, will demonstrate updated Simbeor THz electromagnetic signal integrity software at booth #527 at DesignCon 2017. Two electromagnetic solvers in the updated Simbeor THz are accelerated with parallelization on a loosely coupled grid of computers available in an internal, worldwide or cloud networks. Users of Simbeor THz can now reduce time for design of non-reflective transitions, such as viaholes for serial links, by using loosely coupled computing resources distributed within a company or in a cloud. Setting up the distributed computing environment in Simbeor THz takes just a few minutes and the parallelization is completely automated. The distributed computing option further strengthens Simbeor #1 position in the electromagnetic SI software price-performance category. Simbeor THz also remains the only tool on the market with the accuracy of analysis formally and independently validated for PCB interconnects operating up to 32 Gbps or 64 GBd. Simbeor THz is available for customers and trials at www.simberian.com.
Simberian’s technology and achievements are recognized at DesignCon 2017 with two nominations for the prestigious industry awards. Paper "Cost-effective PCB Material Characterization for High-volume Production Monitoring", co-authored by HPE and Simberian, has been chosen by Technical Program Committee as a finalist for the DesignCon 2017 Best Paper Award. Simberian’s founder Yuriy Shlepnev has been also selected by SI community as a finalist for the DesignCon Engineer of the Year Award.
DesignCon is the world's premier conference for chip, board, and systems design engineers in the high-speed communications and semiconductor communities. DesignCon, created by engineers for engineers, takes place annually in Silicon Valley and remains the largest gathering of chip, board, and systems designers in the country. This three-day technical conference and expo combines technical paper sessions, tutorials, industry panels, product demos and exhibits from the industry's leading experts and solutions providers. More information is available at: designcon.com.

Breaking the Manual Quoting Bottleneck in Wire Harness
04/15/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineArik Vrobel has spent more than 35 years in wire harness manufacturing—starting in EL-Com, his father's shop, building it into a nationally recognized contract manufacturer, and ultimately selling to Aptiv/Winchester in 2021. But retirement didn't last long. Within months, Arik was back, not as a manufacturer this time, but as a technologist. His new company, Cableteque, is building the quoting and data automation platform he always wished existed.
Podcast Hits the Mark in a Materials Market
04/15/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007The base material of a printed circuit board is its literal and functional foundation. Isola, founded in 1912 in Düren, Germany, is one of the longest-standing manufacturers of glass-reinforced laminates in the electronics industry. Originally focused on insulation and fiberglass materials, the company played an early role in supplying the foundational substrates that enabled the growth of PCB technology. As electronics advanced, Isola evolved alongside the industry, expanding from basic glass-epoxy laminates into high-performance copper-clad materials and engineered prepregs.
New EIPC President: Building Strength Through Unity in Europe’s Electronics Industry
