Breaking High-speed Material Constraints: Design007 Magazine — May 2024
May 14, 2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The world of PCB materials used to be a fairly simple one. It was divided into two groups: the “traditional” laminates and the high-speed laminates developed especially for high-speed PCBs.
But then traditional laminates started getting better, and high-speed designers and design engineers took notice. The resin systems have improved to the point that designers are now using flavors of FR-4 for some high-speed PCBs, saving time and money, while streamlining the fab process. In this issue of Design007 Magazine, our contributors explain how to avoid overconstraining your materials when working with high-speed boards. Don’t miss it.

Beyond Design: Effective Floor Planning Strategies
08/20/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignComponent placement on a printed circuit board is more involved than simply fitting parts into available space. It plays a pivotal role in determining the board’s overall manufacturability, performance, reliability, and cost. Poor placement can compromise even the most meticulously designed PCB. Effective component placement alleviates mechanical stress, promotes efficient thermal management, and helps prevent excessive heat buildup.
Smart Automation: Pick-and-place Machines—What Matters in 2025
08/12/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationWhen people talk about placement technology, they often zero in on speed: How fast can a machine place components? What's the quoted components per hour (CPH)? How many nozzles are on the head? While these metrics matter, on most production floors, the fastest machine on paper isn’t always the most productive.
