We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Eagle Electronics Increases Direct Imaging Capacity; Reduces Cycle Time
June 22, 2020 | Eagle ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Mike Kalaria, President and CEO of Eagle Electronics of Schaumburg, Illinois announced today that his company has made an additional new investment in direct imaging.
Eagle Electronics has a strong partnership with their supplier Schmoll Maschinen who builds advanced direct imaging equipment. Eagle has recently purchased their third direct imaging machine from Schmoll which is their MDI-ST XL. This machine will increase their direct imaging capacity by 30-40%. It will also play a major role in reducing cycle time for solder mask exposing.
Commenting on this latest investment Mr. Kalaria stated, “Eagle is well positioned for sustained growth as such we must always look at incremental expansion to support our new and existing customer’s needs. We also like the risk mitigation provided by having more redundancy in our imaging department. In this equipment we also get another major benefit which is the latest performance improvements. We essentially can cut our solder mask exposing time in half greatly improving cycle time. All told we have made an investment which will provide multiple benefits to our customers”

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
