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.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

TTM Technologies Reports Fiscal Q2 2021 Results
July 29, 2021 | TTM Technologies, Inc.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
TTM Technologies, Inc., a leading global printed circuit board (PCB) and radio frequency (RF) components and assemblies manufacturer, reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, which ended on June 28, 2021.
Second Quarter 2021 Highlights
- Net sales were $567.4 million
- GAAP net income of $28.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share
- Non-GAAP net income was $40.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share
- Cash flow from operations was $56.9 million, or 10% of revenues
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
- Net sales for the second quarter of 2021 were $567.4 million, compared to $570.3 million from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020.
- GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2021 was $40.9 million. This compares to GAAP operating income of $23.0 million from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020.
- GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $28.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020.
- On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $40.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $33.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2021 was $75.6 million, or 13.3 percent of net sales, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $76.8 million, or 13.5 percent of net sales, from continuing operations, in the second quarter of 2020.
“In the second quarter, TTM delivered revenue and non-GAAP earnings above the high end 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 in our commercial 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 strong and consistent operating cash flow in the quarter. These achievements reflect the strategic changes made to strengthen TTM, particularly the divestiture of the volatile mobility business which historically caused weak seasonal results in the first half of the year.”
Business Outlook
The stronger than expected revenues in Q2 pulled forward some demand from Q3 and the tight raw material supply conditions will have a greater impact in our third quarter. As a result, TTM estimates that revenue for the third quarter of 2021 will be in the range of $530 million to $570 million, and non-GAAP net income will be in the range of $0.31 to $0.37 per diluted share.

Rethinking Stackup, Materials, and Tolerances in Modern Designs
05/14/2026 | Kristin Moyer, Global Electronics AssociationThe simple rectangular rigid PCB is becoming increasingly infrequent. This reality necessitates designing with concepts well outside traditional rigid PCB methodologies. For example, the designer of wearable electronics may need to implement conductive fibers integrated into the textile material. Heads-up displays, like those in VR/AR headsets and glasses, require transparent circuitry etched into the display glass. The process of designing without a rule book usually starts with something other than the traditional board design process.
Separating Fact from Fear on the FCC ‘China Lab Ban’
05/14/2026 | Jan Pedersen, NCAB GroupRecent news headlines have suggested that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has “banned all testing laboratories in China and Hong Kong.” Understandably, this has created concerns around PCB testing, material approvals, UL listings, and the continued use of established test laboratories in Asia. The good news is that for most PCB, PCB material, and PCBA testing, nothing has changed. Let’s separate fact from fear.
