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.

Amphenol Invotec Achieves ISO/IEC 27001 Certification
November 27, 2023 | Amphenol InvotecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Amphenol Invotec a leading manufacturer of advanced, high technology printed circuit boards, is proud to announce this month that it has achieved ISO/IEC 27001 certification for its information security management.
This important certification demonstrates that the company has put an effective system in place to manage risks related to the security, integrity, and confidentiality of the data it handles and owns.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s best-known standard covering information security management systems. It is jointly published by the International Standards Organisation and International Electrotechnical Commission. In order to gain ISO/IEC 27001 certification, companies must prove that they meet a clear set of standards related to establishing, maintaining and continually improving how they manage their data. Working to achieve ISO/IEC 207001 certification helps companies become more risk-aware, highlight operational weaknesses, and comply with industry-recognised best practice guidelines around information security, cyber-resilience and preparing for new threats.
Mark Mills, IT and Engineering Manager at Amphenol Invotec says:
“Information security plays a crucial role in the success and reputation of our business. In today's digital arena, we are faced with ever-changing threats that can compromise sensitive data and disrupt operations. As an international PCB manufacturer, it is vital that we continue to ensure the safety of our systems and infrastructure. Certification to ISO/IEC 27001 is therefore a major accomplishment for Amphenol Invotec and a testament to our ability to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information to all our stakeholders.”
David Mudd, Global Head of Digital Trust Assurance at BSI, added:
“The global digital landscape is changing, with core business practices now increasingly cloud-based and digitally reliant. BSI is proud to be a trusted partner as organizations respond to this. Certification to the information security standard ISO 27001 shows that Amphenol Invotec has taken necessary steps to protect itself against cyber threats and ensure its information security is in line with global best practice. This focus on achieving digital trust is crucial in a world of technological transformation. BSI congratulates Amphenol Invotec on this achievement.”

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
05/08/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007This week, I’ve selected some outstanding interviews that you’ll want to take note of. First, is a roundtable discussion featuring three dynamic industry cybersecurity experts. Please watch this important discussion that affects us all. Following that, I spotlight the IPC-2581 Consortium, which explains why IPC-2581 is the standard to replace Gerber data for manufacturing. Next, I am including my interview with PCBAA and AAM, who collaborated to release a short documentary on U.S. PCB manufacturing.
A Necessary Shift From Gerber to IPC-2581
05/07/2026 | Tracy Riggan, Global Electronics AssociationIPC-2581 is an open, vendor-neutral data exchange standard developed by the Global Electronics Association to streamline the exchange of PCB design information across fabrication, assembly, and test. It replaces multiple legacy formats—including industry standards, Gerber, and ODB++—with a single, comprehensive, XML-based dataset that captures all manufacturing details.
ViaSat-3 F3 Satellite Successfully Launches from Kennedy Space Center
05/04/2026 | BoeingBoeing mission controllers confirmed that the ViaSat-3 F3 (VS-3 F3) satellite is healthy in orbit following its successful launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket at 10:13 a.m. ET from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida.
Microchip Expands Post-Quantum Root of Trust Controllers
04/29/2026 | MicrochipAs the industry embarks on the transition to post‑quantum cryptography (PQC), Microchip Technology is expanding its portfolio of Trust Shield, PQC‑ready devices with the TS1800 Platform Root of Trust controller and the TS50x secure boot controller.
Is China Plus One Still Happening in the PCB Industry?
04/28/2026 | Manfred Huschka, Manfred Huschka Management Consulting (Shenzhen) Ltd.For much of the past five years, China Plus One has been shorthand for supply-chain diversification: reducing dependency on mainland China by adding manufacturing capacity elsewhere in Asia. In the PCB industry, however, in early 2026, it is more nuanced. It looks less like a clean geographic shift and more like a layered, capital-intensive rebalancing of global capacity, one that still leaves China deeply embedded at the center.
