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.

Precision Technology Joins Forces with Epec Engineered Technologies
December 1, 2023 | Epec Engineering TechnologiesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Precision Technology, Inc. (PTI) and Epec Engineered Technologies shared that they have joined together to give customers a greater range of high-quality printed circuit boards and other electronic products.
Bob Jones, President of PTI, stated: “Due to the globalization and economics of this industry, PTI has extensively searched for a partner to consolidate with seamlessly without disruption and who will continue to give our customers good quality, prices, and deliveries.”
Epec has been in business since 1952, with numerous manufacturing plants throughout the United States and Asia producing time-sensitive printed circuit boards, quick-turn prototypes, and large production orders, along with flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards.
After 55+ years in the printed circuit industry, the legacy of PTI has been passed to Richy Reynolds, who has serviced customers for many years and will continue to be your point of contact, carrying forward customer relationships as a member of the Epec team.
Ed McMahon, CEO of Epec, LLC, stated: “We are very excited and welcome PTI and their customers into the growing Epec family. Bob and Richy have built a business with a tremendous reputation for putting the customer first, which seamlessly fits into Epec’s core values.
“As Epec has successfully executed over 13 transactions exactly like this one with PTI, we are confident of a smooth and seamless transition of all the long-term PTI customers. We are very excited to springboard our focus in the Western U.S. with the addition of Richy and his years of technical experience. With 4 PCB shops closing over the past few months, we are uniquely positioned to grow our business through acquisitions given our significant financial and operational resources.”
Testimonial
