Current IssueVoices of the Industry
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.

Aismalibar to Attend productronica 2021
November 2, 2021 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The only exhibition of this kind, productronica showcases the entire value chain in electronics manufacturing – from technologies and components to software and services. Over 45,000 professionals attended the conference in 2019 and it continues to grow each year.
After successful participation at productronica 2019, Aismalibar will attend the 2021 Munich event and showcase its latest developments in Thermal laminates for the PCB industry and Thermal Interface Materials.
Aismalibar will showcase in Hall B3, Booth 351 (see map), offering detailed information to those seeking to solve thermal management problems on their PCB designs and offering the ideal solution on high end TIMs.
Aismalibar will present their unique COBRITHERM ULTRATHIN 4W - TG180ºC - 150ºC MOT, an insulated metal substrate (IMS) based on an aluminum cladding with an ED copper sheet on the opposite side, containing an innovative 35um ultra-thin polymer-ceramic dielectric layer of its own formulation. This product offers industry-leading thermal conductivity and high dielectric strength. It also offers strong MOT, High Tg and Low CTE values, which are the key elements for performance of the MPCB operating at high temperatures.
Furthermore, the Thermal Multilayer product range will be presented, as well as products for the development of multilayer PCBs that can be combined to customize solutions for complex electronic designs and applications. The Thermal Cobritherm THIN LAM and BOND SHEET can be used in standard multilayer lamination processes, reducing thermal resistance, improving thermal conductivity, and dissipating temperature much faster without the need to modifying the design of an existing and running project. This can be achieved only by changing the standard FR4 to Cobritherm THIN LAM and Cobritherm BOND SHEETS.
The new Cobritherm of 3.2W THIN LAM and BOND SHEETS have been developed to reduce thermal resistance. A MOT of 150ºC, high Tg values??of 180ºC and Low CTE below 1.8% (50 to 250ºC) considerably improve overall thermal efficiency. For more information, please visit our website www.aismaibar.com.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
The Right Blend: Mixed Wireless Technologies
05/08/2025 | Kirsten Zima, Siemens EDAA common trend recently is to employ as many radios as possible on a single PCB. With the increase of wireless standards and the downscaling of PCB size, it can be difficult to know what the most critical design parameters are to focus on. In this article, we’ll discuss the most important considerations to make when designing with mixed wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi, on a single PCB. These considerations include antennas, frequencies, FCC compliance, shielding, and layout with and without transition vias.
Navigating Global Manufacturing in an Era of Uncertainty
05/07/2025 | Philip Stoten, ScoopThe EMS industry faces unprecedented challenges as global trade tensions rise and tariff announcements create market uncertainty. In an overview of IPC Europe’s podcast, MADE IN EUROPE, industry experts from GPV and Zollner examine how these developments impact our businesses and customers, and what strategies will prevail in this new landscape.
