Current IssueThe Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?
Solder Printing
In this issue, we turn a discerning eye to solder paste printing. As apertures shrink, and the requirement for multiple thicknesses of paste on the same board becomes more commonplace, consistently and accurately applying paste becomes ever more challenging.

Flexible Thinking: Musings on High Density Interconnections
10/30/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingPeople have been using high density interconnection (HDI) technology since the early 1980s, although it was not called HDI until the late 1990s. In the 1970s, ’80s, and early ’90s, engineers used HDI methods to develop hybrid circuits, which were later referred to as multichip modules (MCMs). These were arguably the first instantiation of heterogeneous interconnection technology, which has been the industry buzzword for almost a decade. These devices are a way of integrating multiple chips—both integrated circuits and discrete devices (resistors, capacitors, and inductors)—into a single package, typically using ceramic substrates with layers of insulation and metallic inks (often gold) and firing them at high temperatures.
Combatting Advanced Techniques in Counterfeiting
10/30/2024 | Anthony BryantIn today's interconnected global marketplace, counterfeit electronics pose a significant threat to industries ranging from aerospace and defense to healthcare and telecommunications. As counterfeiters employ increasingly sophisticated techniques, the need for robust strategies to prevent, mitigate, and identify counterfeit components has become critical. This article explores the advanced techniques used in counterfeiting, the potential involvement of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and comprehensive strategies for combating this pervasive issue.
