Current IssueAdvanced Packaging and Stackup Design
This month, our expert contributors discuss the impact of advanced packaging on stackup design—from SI and DFM challenges through the variety of material tradeoffs that designers must contend with in HDI and UHDI.
Rules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

Transition Automation Updates Innovative Paste Retainers
September 27, 2023 | Transition Automation, Inc.Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Transition Automation, Inc. has improved the unique Paste Retainer System that is included in the company’s line of squeegee holder systems. The Soft-Touch™ Paste retainers now have a dual pin locking that better secures the white dam portion. Additionally, the attachment screws have been upgraded to Alloy Steel compared to the previous galvanized steel. The spring element is made thicker, giving the design more impact resistance. The total part count was reduced by 8 pcs per set. The white dam may be adjusted in or out based on the position of the squeegee blade, and the entire assembly can be adjusted up or down to push against the stencil or to ride above it slightly. This new design affords faster maintenance for cleaning and easer use.
The Soft-Touch Paste retainer system is an integral part of Transition’s advanced squeegee holder system. These devices help keep the solder paste inside the print area.
