May 5, 2020 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
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: 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.

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.
