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.

Aismalibar to Attend productronica 2019
October 27, 2019 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
As the only exhibition of this kind, productronica showcases the entire value chain in electronics manufacturing – from technologies and components to software and services. Approximately 45,000 professionals attended the conference in 2018 and it continues to grow each year.
After successful participation in the 2018 edition of productronica, Aismalibar will attend the Munich event and showcase its latest developments in IMS laminates, as well as the new range of automation for production of PCBs of the Technosystem brand.
Aismalibar will be located in productronica Hall B3 with stand 351. In addition to offering personalized attention to all those who seek information, it will exhibit machinery from the Technosystem catalog, a brand of The Benmayor Group that develops technology and machinery for the production of PCBs. Aismalibar will also present its new range of loaders, unloaders and robots for the production of printed circuits.
Aismalibar will also showcase COBRITHERM ULTRATHIN 4W - TG180ºC - 150ºC MOT, an insulated metal substrate (IMS) based on an aluminum cladding with an ED copper sheet on the opposite side, containing an innovative ultra-thin polymer-ceramic dielectric layer of its own formulation, offering industry-leading thermal conductivity and high dielectric strength. It also offers strong MOT, high Tg and low CTE values, which are the key elements for performance of MPCBs operating at high temperatures.
The Thermal Multilayer product range will also be presented as well as products for the development of multilayer PCBs that can be combined to customize solutions for complex electronic designs and applications. THIN LAM and BOND SHEET can be used in standard multilayer lamination processes to improve resistance to thermal shocks, conductivity and thermal dissipation.
The new THIN LAM and BOND SHEETS of 3.2W have been developed to reduce thermal resistance. An MOT of 150ºC, high Tg values of 180ºC and low CTE below 1.8% (50 to 250ºC) considerably improve the overall thermal efficiency.
About Aismalibar
AISMALIBAR is a manufacturer of copper clad laminates who produces high quality base materials for the PCB industry. AISMALIBAR was one of the first IMS laminate manufacturers in the world and was the first in Europe.

I-Connect007 Releases The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Direct Metallization: A Guide to Complex PCB Fabrication
05/13/2026 | I-Connect007As PCB complexity continues to accelerate, fabricators and OEMs are reevaluating long-standing manufacturing processes to meet the demands of AI, HDI, advanced packaging, and next-generation electronics. To address these evolving challenges, I-Connect007 is proud to announce the release of The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Direct Metallization: A Guide to Complex PCB Fabrication, authored by MacDermid Alpha Solution’s Carmichael Gugliotti.
Driving Innovation: Selecting the Right Laser Source
04/28/2026 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationWhen I first joined Schmoll Maschinen, I brought experience from almost every PCB process, except for laser. As I immersed myself in laser processing, I realized why it can seem so daunting to a newcomer. The complexity arises from three intersecting factors: A vast variety of laser sources: CO2, UV-nano, green-pico, UV-pico, IR-pico, and others; a diverse range of applications: Drilling, cutting, ablation, and more; and an extensive list of materials: These have vastly different absorption rates. Choosing the right machine or laser source is rarely trivial. Even for experienced engineers, answering "Which source is best?" requires examining the business's specific goals.
Institute of Circuit Technology Spring Seminar 2026: A Bright Future in Europe
04/23/2026 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Through the leafy lanes and spring flowers of Warwickshire and back to Meridan, the traditional centre of England, and now officially part of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in the county of the West Midlands, I attended the Annual General Meeting and Spring Seminar of the Institute of Circuit Technology (ICT) on April 14. Out of the AGM came notable changes in leadership at the top of the Institute: the retirement of Mat Beadel as chair and Emma Hudson as technical director. Effective May 1, Steve Driver is the new chair, and Alun Morgan is the new technical director.
ACCM Unveils Negative and Near-zero CTE Materials for Large-Format AI Chips
04/21/2026 | Advanced Chip and Circuit MaterialsAdvanced Chip and Circuit Materials, Inc. (ACCM) has launched two new materials: Celeritas HM50, with a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of -8 ppm/°C to offset the positive CTE and expansion of copper with temperature on circuit boards, and Celeritas HM001, with near-zero CTE and the low-loss performance needed for high-speed signal layers to 224 Gb/s and faster in artificial intelligence (AI) circuits.
Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing PCBs for Harsh Environments—Reliability Is Engineered Upstream
04/23/2026 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsWhen engineers hear the phrase “harsh environment,” they usually think of the extreme temperature swings, vibration and shock, pressure changes, or radiation in aerospace. However, aerospace is not the only harsh environment where electronic assemblies must survive. Automotive power electronics, downhole oil and gas tools, marine controls, rail systems, defense platforms, and industrial automation equipment all expose PCBs to environments that are equally unforgiving. The stress mechanisms may differ, but the physics does not.
