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.

Würth Elektronik Celebrates Internationality on Diversity Day
June 3, 2020 | Wuerth ElektronikEstimated reading time: 1 minute
On the occasion of the Diversity Day on 26 May, Würth Elektronik celebrated its own diversity this time in terms of internationality. For five years now, the company has been part of the Diversity Charter, which this year called for online activities under the hashtag #FlagforDiversity against the background of the Corona pandemic.
For the Diversity Day, employees from all locations sent in photos of themselves in their home office or at work with the flag of their nation of origin for a large diversity collage. Würth Elektronik is a global group of companies and this is also reflected in the workforce. At the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group alone, one of the largest European manufacturers of electronic and electromechanical components, people of 40 different nationalities work in Germany. The motto "We live diversity and value diversity" in the company's job advertisements is therefore both a commitment and an expression of the reality in the company.

Two issues must be considered. First is the manufacturers’ and customers’ need for quality, reliability, and functionality of the product. Second is the manufacturing volume needed to support demand, whether for military, industrial, or commercial applications. Each segment requires verification that the product meets the customer's requirements.
AI Reshaping the Memory Market; Effects Spreading Across Industries
04/29/2026 | Dr. Shawn DuBravac, Global Electronics AssociationArtificial Intelligence is often framed as a software story focused on algorithms and models. But beneath that narrative lies a more fundamental shift rooted in hardware. AI is not just changing what technology can do; it’s changing how the physical components behind it are produced, allocated, and priced. One of the clearest examples of this shift is now emerging in the global memory market.
