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.

atg-Luther Maelzer to Exhibit at productronica 2019
November 4, 2019 | atg Luther & Maelzer GmbHEstimated reading time: 1 minute
atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH, is looking forward to meeting with attendees at the upcoming productronia 2019 trade show in Hall B3 booth 203 at the Messe Munich.
The company will be showcasing their latest automatic Flying probe test system atg A8aL.
atg’s A8aL is able to test pad sizes down to 35 micron and is capable of testing HDI products for smart phones or tablet and Production panels up to a test area of 24.0” x 21.0” in manual and 19.0” x 16.5” in automatic mode. The A8aL eliminates limitations due to test point density or fine-pitch contacts and also features embedded component test, 4-wire Kelvin measurement capability with an accuracy down to +/- 0,025 mΩ, and latent defect testing. In combination with the fast test speed of up to 140 measurements/second, the A8aL provides a “lights-out” automated handling solution for batches up to 500 boards. To achieve high throughput the key feature of the A8a is a new dual shuttle system, which reduces the product exchange time to zero seconds in automation mode.

Separating Fact from Fear on the FCC ‘China Lab Ban’
05/14/2026 | Jan Pedersen, NCAB GroupRecent news headlines have suggested that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has “banned all testing laboratories in China and Hong Kong.” Understandably, this has created concerns around PCB testing, material approvals, UL listings, and the continued use of established test laboratories in Asia. The good news is that for most PCB, PCB material, and PCBA testing, nothing has changed. Let’s separate fact from fear.
yieldWerx, WATS Partner to Bridge PCB Test with Chip-Level Manufacturing Data
05/11/2026 | PRNewswireBoard-level and semiconductor test data are often analyzed separately, limiting correlation across the product lifecycle. Linking PCB assembly (PCBA) test results, including in-circuit and functional test, with upstream wafer, sort, and final test data remains difficult, particularly in photonics, advanced packaging, and high-density integration environments.
