Current IssueMechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.
Creating a Culture of Collaboration
PCB designers could learn quite a bit from NASA and the private companies that develop spacecraft: Every one of these vehicles is a testament to the value of collaboration among disparate stakeholders. Without a collaborative culture, the rocket might never get off the ground.
Breaking High-speed Material Constraints
Do you need specialty materials for your high-speed designs? Maybe not. Improvements in resins mean designers of high-speed boards can sometimes use traditional laminate systems. Learn more in this issue.

Mentor to Hold Webinar on FloTHERM V12
August 30, 2017 | Mentor, a Siemens businessEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Byron Blackmore, product manager for electronics cooling at Mentor, will present the benefits of the new features in FloTHERM v12 in a webinar scheduled on September 21, 2017.
The webinar will feature the new functionality of FloTHERM, including a new and improved Command Center, and ho these new features can help increase your productivity. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the presentation.
You will also learn how to:
- Easily create, solve, and analyse model variants to fully explore and improve the thermal design.
- Copy/Paste data exchange with external tools, makes interaction and report generation quicker.
- Support for Phase Change Materials (PCM). Encapsulated PCMs have become a common thermal solution for consumer applications, and have been difficult to simulate in the past. FloTHERM now accepts latent heat and melt temperature as inputs and utilizes these values automatically in transient applications. The impact of PCMs on component and touch temperatures can now be fully explored and optimized in FloTHERM.

07/16/2024 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsUltra high-density interconnect (UHDI) technology has significant potential for RF (radio frequency) microwave applications. Its advantages lie in its ability to provide high-density routing and integration, which are crucial for complex RF circuits. Here are three key UHDI benefits in RF microwave applications:
Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 2
07/10/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamThe evolution of low-temperature solder alloys requires thoughtful consideration of the thermal and mechanical reliability requirements specific to each application. Thermal cycling and drop (mechanical) shock tests have long been used as board-level proxy tests for evaluating and quantifying the ability of electronics assemblies to sustain abrupt, short-term mechanical stresses, as well as continuous cyclic stresses.
