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.

Global Automotive PCB Market Poised for Growth
October 15, 2019 | EINPresswire.comEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The automotive printed circuit board (PCB) is known for its excellent use in handling on-board computers. Most of the cars plying now on road are integrated with an on-board computer, which requires efficient handling and the automotive printed circuit board (PCB) is the solution. Demand for better sophistication has led to increased integration of PCBs on a large scale and in fact, a single car may require a few. The global market for automotive printed circuit board (PCB) is expected to take a leap using the need and secure better prospects for itself.
The global market for automotive printed circuit board (PCB) is expecting some strong tailwinds from the growing automotive industry that, to ensure top-class comfort, is bolstering the need for automotive printed circuit board (PCB). Hike in disposable income, better market percolation, and innovation in research and development are factors that can be beneficial for the global market for automotive printed circuit board (PCB).
However, the market for automotive printed circuit board (PCB) can witness distractions from the economic slump that is taking place across the world. This may bring in plummet in the automotive industry and as a consequence, the automotive printed circuit board (PCB) market can feel the heat. But, the European market is witnessing some financial revival, which can be considered a positive move with the potential to keep the market on the growth track.
Regional Analysis:
Europe is expected to make good grounds due to the robust automotive industry and high technological incorporation in diverse associated fields. The regional market is getting strong boost from Italy, France, Germany, and the UK. Better investment in research and development is also expected to ensure high ingress of various technologies. Also, the expenditure for luxury cars is high, which provides better traction to the market. North America is revamping the market for automotive and due to similar features can ensure better prospects for the market for automotive printed circuit board (PCB). The Asia Pacific region has emerged as a better market as for market titans it has become an alluring opportunity for expansion.
Industry News:
In September 2019, OmniVision Technologies, Inc., known as an eminent developer of state-of-the-art digital imaging solutions, declared the launching of its 1.3MP OX01F10 SoC that would solve issues with the automotive rear view camera (RVC) and surround view system (SVS). This would provide better low-light performance, would conceive ultra-low power, and reduce cost. The process would also improve the performance by using just one printed circuit board (PCB).

The Marketing Minute: If Your Marketing Budget Gets Cut in Half, Then What?
05/13/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteHypothetically, let’s say your marketing budget gets cut in half tomorrow. (I’m stressed just thinking about it!)

If your entire marketing approach depends on the biggest, flashiest, most expensive options available, that’s not really a strategy. It’s just spending. A strong marketing strategy should remain consistent regardless of spending levels.

Is China Plus One Still Happening in the PCB Industry?
04/28/2026 | Manfred Huschka, Manfred Huschka Management Consulting (Shenzhen) Ltd.For much of the past five years, China Plus One has been shorthand for supply-chain diversification: reducing dependency on mainland China by adding manufacturing capacity elsewhere in Asia. In the PCB industry, however, in early 2026, it is more nuanced. It looks less like a clean geographic shift and more like a layered, capital-intensive rebalancing of global capacity, one that still leaves China deeply embedded at the center.
It's Only Common Sense: See Your Marketing as a Discipline, Not a Department
04/27/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhat does marketing mean to you? Is it a corner office with cool posters on the wall? Is it the person running your LinkedIn page or the trade show booth with the shiny graphics and the bowl of candy? Yes, marketing is those things, but it’s more than that. It’s a discipline, and if you treat it like a department, you’re already losing.
Roundtable: Advanced Materials
04/27/2026 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamDriven largely by the need for advanced chip technology for super compute ability and AI applications, low Dk, low-loss resin systems, and heavy copper laminate are attracting significant attention and global resources. There are numerous unavoidable challenges in this market that will impact manufacturers and the supply chain, and they may be hitting critical mass sooner than OEMs and fabricators think. In this roundtable discussion, moderator Marcy LaRont speaks with topic experts: Mark Goodwin, John Fix, and Ed Kelley.
