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.

Arlon EMC Receives IPC-4101 QPL Recertification
March 20, 2024 | Arlon Electronic MaterialsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Arlon Electronic Materials has successfully completed an intensive two-day recertification audit by IPC Validation Services that examined Arlon’s manufacturing processes and testing procedures to assure that they are in conformance to the requirements of IPC-4101E-WAM1, the Specification for Base Materials for Rigid and Multilayer Printed Boards. Successful completion of this audit confirms Arlon as a trusted supplier of high-performance laminate and prepreg products to the Aerospace, Military, and Industrial market segments of the electronic supply chain.
“This recertification of our factory’s procedures and test methods provides an added layer of assurance to our customers that Arlon’s products consistently meet or exceed industry standards”, according to Mark Reese, Arlon’s Quality Manager. He went on to add, “We feel that the Validation Services program is an important component of the aerospace and military supply chain in providing an independent verification of our organization’s materials and systems.”
Arlon became the first North American laminator to participate in the IPC Validation Services program in 2018 and remains the only US laminate supplier to have its polyimide products and its facility validated by IPC.

Closing the Loop: iNEMI Workshop Addresses Circularity Challenges
12/09/2024 | Kelly Scanlon, IPC Lead Sustainability StrategistThe electronics industry faces increasing pressure from consumers and regulators to implement more circular design principles in their products. While some companies lead the way, many grapple with significant knowledge gaps. These include a lack of clear definitions for "circular economy" in the context of electronics, insufficient data, and inadequate training to apply circular principles effectively across product lifecycles. Additionally, there's a pressing need to understand the return on investment (ROI) and other potential incentives for implementing circular principles.
