Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.
Technology Roadmaps
In this issue of PCB007 Magazine, we discuss technology roadmaps and what they mean for our businesses, providing context to the all-important question: What is my company’s technology roadmap?

Rogers to Feature Advanced Materials Technology, Capabilities for Antennas at IEEE AP-S
July 5, 2022 | Rogers CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rogers Corporation will exhibit at the IEEE International Symposium on Antennas & Propagation (IEEE AP-S) in Denver, CO (Booth #400) on July 12-14.
The IEEE AP-S conference is intended to provide an international forum for the exchange of information on state-of-the-art research in antennas, propagation, electromagnetic engineering and radio science.
Key Rogers’ products being featured include:
Recently introduced Radix™ 3D Printable Dielectrics family of products, with the first available material featuring a dielectric constant of 2.8 and low loss characteristics at microwave frequencies. These printable dielectric materials give radio frequency (RF) designers unprecedented design freedom in creating new components, eliminating the need to consider typical manufacturing design constraints.
Radix 3D Printable Dielectrics are proprietary composite materials designed for the scalable manufacture of gradient index and controlled dk 3D structures, through a scalable, high-resolution printing process for end-use RF dielectric component manufacturing. Rogers Corporation’s first Radix 3D Printable Dielectric material has a targeted dielectric constant of 2.8 and a dissipation factor of 0.0043 at 10 GHz when cured.
MAGTREX® 555 High Impedance Laminates: The first commercially available low loss laminate with controlled and matched permeability and permittivity, enabling antenna designers to expand the trade-space of their antenna design, enabling design flexibility and optimization.
Rogers technical staff will be available to discuss the most demanding applications from Phase Array Radar Antennas, high frequency magneto-dielectric materials, ablative Radome materials, and metallized-shaped/3D ADM dielectric solutions.
Conference attendees can learn about “3D-Printed E-Band Gradient Dielectric Lens for Automotive and Industrial Applications” from Trevor Polidore of Rogers Corporation and Philip Lambert of 3DFortify at the 3D Printed Lens Antennas technical session on Friday July 15th starting at 3:20 p.m.

Case Study: PCB Design Flaws Affect Product Cost
12/03/2024 | Matt Stevenson, ASC SunstoneIn the rapidly evolving aerospace industry, precision and reliability are paramount. “AeroTech Solutions” (not the company’s real name), an aerospace company specializing in satellite technology, recently faced a significant challenge that tested its operational integrity: A flaw identified in the PCB design of its latest satellite model led to unexpected delays and cost overruns.
Lockheed Martin’s Latest Space-Bound LM 400 Tech Demonstration Set to Launch in 2025
11/29/2024 | Lockheed MartinLockheed Martin announced continued investment in its technology demonstrations with the upcoming launch of the LM 400, a new mid-sized, common, multi-mission space vehicle. It has completed testing and is currently preparing to embark on its journey on a Firefly Aerospace Alpha rocket in the first half of 2025.
Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
From Construction Work to PCB Design in Under a Year
11/27/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineAt the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show in October, I had the opportunity to talk with some new PCB designers, including Jon Smith of Frontgrade Aethercomm. During the Anaheim show, John Watson, a PCB design instructor at Palomar College, led a panel of his past and present students, including Jon, who shared his story of switching from a construction career to PCB design in a matter of months, courtesy of Watson’s Palomar College design curriculum.
PCB Layout Rules of Thumb for Consideration
11/25/2024 | Patrick Davis, Cadence Design SystemsJust because a “rule of thumb” is usually based on experience instead of precise facts doesn’t negate its value. For instance, when I told my kids that a good rule of thumb was not to back-talk to their mother, they discovered very quickly how accurate my advice was once they crossed that line. There are a lot of rules of thumb that we rely on daily, including those that apply to PCB design.
