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.

TTM Technologies, Inc., a leading global printed circuit board (PCB) and radio frequency (RF) components and assemblies manufacturer, today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which ended on March 29, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Net sales for the first quarter of 2021 were $526.4 million, compared to $497.6 million from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2020.
GAAP operating income from for the first quarter of 2021 was $19.8 million. This compares to GAAP operating income of $16.2 million from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2020.
GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2021 was $3.2 million, inclusive of $15.2 million of debt extinguishment related charges, or ($0.03) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $3.2 million, or ($0.03) per diluted share from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2020.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $25.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $16.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2021 was $61.0 million, or 11.6 percent of net sales, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $60.2 million, or 12.1 percent of net sales, from continuing operations, in the first quarter of 2020.
“In the first quarter, TTM delivered revenue and non-GAAP earnings above the midpoint of the previously guided range despite significant challenges from COVID-19 and tight supply conditions for certain raw materials. The solid performance was driven by better than expected sales across all end markets led by strong year on year growth from the automotive and data center computing end markets,” said Tom Edman, CEO of TTM. “Additionally, strict financial discipline drove solid operating cash flow in the quarter. Our improved financial performance enabled us to issue $500 million of new Senior Notes at a lower interest rate and longer tenor than our previous Senior Notes which were redeemed. These achievements reflect the strategic changes made to strengthen TTM, particularly the divestiture of the volatile mobility business which normally caused weak seasonal results in the first half of the year.”
Business Outlook
TTM estimates that revenue for the second quarter of 2021 will be in the range of $525 million to $565 million, and non-GAAP net income will be in the range of $0.27 to $0.33 per diluted share.

Punching Out: How Many PCB Companies Are There in North America Now?
03/19/2026 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!When I am asked how many PCB shops are still in the U.S., my answer is usually, “About 130. How many do you want to buy?” However, I do not really know the number. My job is either to sell PCB shops or help people buy them, not to count them. I probably should keep better track of them, but many are small (70% have revenue below $10 million), or they say they are making boards even if they rent out their facility as an auto repair shop.
EIPC Winter Conference 2026 Review: The Keynote Sessions
02/11/2026 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Aix-en-Provence (pronounced “ex-ahn-pro-vonse”), a historic city and commune in the south of France, about 20 miles north of Marseille, was the pleasant venue for EIPC’s Winter Conference in early February. Industry delegates from 11 European countries, as well as from the U.S. and China, gathered at the Renaissance Hotel for a two-day programme, “Driving the Future: Innovation, Energy, and Sustainability in PCB Technology.” An added attraction was a privileged visit to the ITER fusion power project at the Cadarache research and development centre.
SMTA Space Coast: What's Needed to Modernize Defense Solder Standards
12/23/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Long-time lead-free solder investigator, Denny Fritz, hit the SMTA Space Coast Expo in November to drum up support for an initiative to include lead-free solder in milaero-based printed circuit board assemblies. In this interview, Denny provides background on the genesis of the “consider all solders” project and why it matters to continue leading this effort.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/28/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Yesterday was the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. The traditional meal is, of course, roast turkey with “all the trimmings.” Although not everyone observes that menu, most do, and it was reported that 42 million turkeys were consumed on that day. With an average weight of 16 pounds per turkey, we cooked up 672 million pounds! With approximately 342 million people in the U.S, that pencils out to just under two pounds of drumstick and white meat per person. That, my friends, is a whole lot of leftovers.
