Current IssueCreating a Culture of Collaboration
PCB designers could learn quite a bit from NASA and the private companies that develop spacecraft: Every one of these vehicles is a testament to the value of collaboration among disparate stakeholders. Without a collaborative culture, the rocket might never get off the ground.
Breaking High-speed Material Constraints
Do you need specialty materials for your high-speed designs? Maybe not. Improvements in resins mean designers of high-speed boards can sometimes use traditional laminate systems. Learn more in this issue.
Level Up Your Design Skills
This month, our contributors discuss the PCB design classes available at IPC APEX EXPO 2024. As they explain, these courses cover everything from the basics of design through avoiding over-constraining high-speed boards, and so much more!

Rogers Expands Capabilities and Services With New Application Laboratory
June 12, 2024 | Rogers CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
![](https://iconnect007.com/application/files/8317/1819/3893/Rogers.jpg)
Rogers Corporation announced that the new application laboratory was completed, expanding the company's assembly, testing and inspection capabilities and services at the curamik® production site in Eschenbach. The establishment of the application laboratory started in 2023 by building a cleanroom facility inside an infrastructure at Gossenstrasse 45 in Eschenbach, followed by equipment sourcing and acquisition. The cleanroom was completed mid December 2023 with the delivery and installation of the acquired machines.
Rogers Expands Capabilities and Services with New Application Laboratory
The application laboratory allows Rogers to explore strategic partnerships with well-known, established manufacturers and suppliers in the industry with short lead times and capable lab equipment at a minimal cost. Establishing an in-house application laboratory meets the markets' and our customers' demand for quick and efficient support. The application laboratory has an 110m2 floor area that houses the equipment and with provision for next steps equipment’s for expansion, equipped with climate control to maintain temperature inside for equipment operational requirement and this is an ESD “Electro-static discharge” controlled area. Furthermore, it fulfils the ISO7 standard for a certified cleanroom facility.
In the application laboratory the following machines are available for assembly:
- Stencil Printer
- Vacuum Soldering System
- Die Attach
- Sintering Press
- Wirebonder
- Centrifugal Mixer
Moreover, a wide range of testing and inspection machines are available, such as:
- Thermal Resistance / Impedance Tester
- Hi-pot and Power Supplies
- Bending Fixture
- 3D Optical Profilometer
- Video Microscope
The focus of the application laboratory is to validate our products' value proposition for our customers and to offer key customers workability testing by request. Moreover, it allows us to evaluate new and emerging materials and process compatibilities to understand upfront our product performance. Rogers laboratory equipment and added services enhance our technical support capabilities for our customers and further differentiate Rogers from our competitors.

Traditional Materials, High-Frequency Boards?
06/18/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamNot long ago, high-frequency and RF boards required specialized laminates, which tend to be costly and difficult to manufacture. But now, high-frequency designers use traditional PCB laminates for certain high-frequency boards. How is this possible? For some insight, we asked Ed Kelley, founder of Four Peaks Innovation and former CTO of Isola, to discuss how traditional materials have improved and what this means to PCB designers and design engineers today.
