I-Connect007 is excited to announce the release of the latest episode of Series 3 of its popular podcast, On the Line With..., now available on Apple and Spotify.
In “PCB 3.0: A New Design Methodology: Manufacturing” Patrick Davis returns to the podcast to talk about design rules. As design considerations become more and more complex, so, too, do the rulesets designers must abide by. But rather than seeing them as impossible sets of constraints, Davis shares a vision in which designers can maximize their creative efficiencies while relying on ever more complex design rules to keep everything straight.
I-Connect007 is committed to providing readers, viewers, and listeners with a wide range of digital content and information to help them succeed in the industry. From magazines, books, and newsletters to market reports, podcasts, and event coverage, we provide digital content that suits the needs of our community, with particular emphasis on hearing from the industry itself.

Bridging the Gap Between PCB Designers and Fabricators
04/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWith today’s advanced EDA tools, designing complex PCBs in the virtual world does not necessarily mean they can be built in the real world. This makes the relationship between a PCB designer and a fabricator pivotal to the success of a project. In keeping with solid design for manufacturing (DFM) practices, clear and frequent communication is needed to dial and lock in design constraints that meet expectations while addressing manufacturing concerns.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
