Current IssueCreating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.
Designing Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

Averatek Corporation Launches the A-SAP 'Community of Interest'
March 4, 2021 | AveratekEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Averatek Corporation has launched the A-SAP™ Community of Interest. This web-based content platform was developed as a central resource for the industry: so that all members of the supply chain—from designers to end user—can exchange information and insights about the A-SAP™ leading-edge PCB fabrication process.
“The ability to form 15-micron feature sizes with Averatek A-SAP™ technology is proven,” said Tara Dunn, vice president of marketing and business development for Averatek. “Now we are building a community of experts who understand how to apply this benefit to PCB design and fabrication: to optimize the advantages of these tight feature sizes and reset the technology curve.”
“The electronics industry is at an inflection point,” said Haris Basit, CEO of Averatek. “The A-SAP™ process opens up high-density design opportunities, with RF and signal integrity benefits that were previously unavailable. Three commercial fabricators are implementing A-SAP™ technology now, and PCB designers can collaborate with these innovators to meet their customer needs. Next-generation design is here today.”
Averatek A-SAP™ is an advanced manufacturing process for printed circuit board fabrication, with trace and space widths as narrow as 15 microns. This process can dramatically reduce area, layer count and weight of electronics systems - as well as provide significant RF benefits. A-SAP™ can be easily integrated with traditional PCB manufacturing equipment and materials.
About Averatek

Smart Automation: AI—Revolutionizing Inspection in Electronics Manufacturing
05/27/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationArtificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a staple in our personal and professional lives. In electronics manufacturing, integrating AI to combat common inefficiencies and to contextualize data will open new doors into how we supplement our traditional processes. In some specific areas of the electronics manufacturing process, integration of AI on the factory floor is already having a tremendous effect. One such area is PCBA inspection, particularly 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.
