May 5, 2020 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Technica USA located in San Jose, California announced they have reached an agreement with TCT Circuit Supply to act as a sales representative of EMC products in defined territories and accounts. Additionally, the two companies established a Master Service Agreement whereas TCT Circuit Supply (TCS) will be providing fabrication and logistics support for Technica from their Plymouth, Minnesota location.
As part of this Agreement, orders for EMC products from customers serviced by the TCS sales team will be placed directly through Technica USA’s customer service organization.
The two companies will continue to promote their respective product lines through their existing sales channels.
Frank Medina, President of Technica USA stated, “We are very pleased to have established this relationship with TCS. Their representation of the EMC products will expand our sales and support effort with experienced sales people. Utilizing the TCS Plymouth operation will allow us to better service customers outside the Western U.S.”
Ian Hemmings, President of TCT Circuit Supply remarked, “TCS is pleased to partner with Technica for the sales and support of EMC copper clad laminate and prepreg. The combined resources of the two companies will optimize the service, speed and efficiency in which EMC products are delivered to the North American customer base.”
Medina continued, “EMC has released a group of advanced products over the last year that have quickly become recognized as “Best in Class” for Signal Integrity and Thermal Performance. Our cooperation with TCS will enable us to present the features and advantages of these leading-edge products to a broader customer base.”

Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
Trouble in Your Tank: Minimizing Small-via Defects for High-reliability PCBs
08/27/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankTo quote the comedian Stephen Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.” That can be the battle cry when you find that only small-diameter vias are exhibiting voids. Why are small holes more prone to voids than larger vias when processed through electroless copper? There are several reasons.
The Government Circuit: Navigating New Trade Headwinds and New Partnerships
08/25/2025 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitAs global trade winds continue to howl, the electronics manufacturing industry finds itself at a critical juncture. After months of warnings, the U.S. Government has implemented a broad array of tariff increases, with fresh duties hitting copper-based products, semiconductors, and imports from many nations. On the positive side, tentative trade agreements with Europe, China, Japan, and other nations are providing at least some clarity and counterbalance.
How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
50% Copper Tariffs, 100% Chip Uncertainty, and a Truce
08/19/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007If you’re like me, tariffs were not on your radar screen until a few months ago, but now political rhetoric has turned to presidential action. Tariffs are front-page news with major developments coming directly from the Oval Office. These are not typical times. President Donald Trump campaigned on tariff reform, and he’s now busy revamping America’s tariff policy.
