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.

GreenSource Fabrication Enhances Testing Capability with MicroCraft
September 28, 2022 | MicroCraftEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MicroCraft installed an EMMA E4M6151 tester earlier this year at GreenSource’s state-of-the-art facility in New Hampshire. This E4M6151 is a very capable flying probe tester able to reliably test at high speeds while maintaining accuracy and precision. It is MicroCraft’s most popular tester model.
Michael Gleason, Director of Product Development, adds, “We are very pleased with the recently installed EMMA tester. The majority of our products are multi-lam and build-up designs which require electrical testing of the sub-composites. For panel level testing, EMMA’s speed, accuracy and reliability is industry leading and has opened up needed capacity in our ET department. Its fine feature testing capability is a welcomed bonus.”
About GreenSource Fabrication
Today over 90% of PCB’s are considered commodities. To compete in the space where this statement is not applicable requires developing engineered solutions and technical differentiators. It demands an engineering driven company with a commitment to invest in state-of-the-art equipment, highly qualified personnel, and development of leading-edge practices. GreenSource Fabrication made the decision to invest in both equipment and talent. GreenSource Fabrication is a premier US based world class source of high-end PCB’s and substrates.
