What Scares Me Today in PCB and System Design

10/28/2026 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDA and PCEA
After more than 30 years in PCB design, I have seen our industry evolve from relatively straightforward circuit boards to highly complex, high-density, high-speed electronic systems that push the limits of physics, materials, manufacturing processes, and engineering capabilities. I have worked across multiple design disciplines, tackled difficult technical challenges, and watched the tools and technologies available to engineers advance dramatically.

It’s Only Common Sense: Why Should They Take Your Call?

09/14/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
Think about the customer receiving your sales call. She’s dealing with material shortages, changing laminate allocations, extended component lead times, tariff questions, unpredictable transportation costs, and management pressure to protect both delivery and margin. Then the phone rings, and a salesperson asks, “Do you have anything I can quote?” It’s time to rethink that relationship. Call customers because you have information that could help them make a better decision, not because you want an order. Instead of asking, “What can you give me?” you are saying, “Here is something you should know.” Now you are a resource, not an interruption.

Who Carries the Risk? A PCB Supply Chain Paradox

06/18/2026 | Jan Pedersen, Engineer and PCB Expert
For as long as I can remember, PCB customers have been encouraged to provide forecasts. Whether discussing standard multilayer boards, advanced HDI designs, or complex aerospace programs, the message has been remarkably consistent: Better visibility creates greater stability. The logic is difficult to dispute. When customers provide forecasts and scheduled orders, PCB manufacturers can plan capacity more effectively. Laminate suppliers can better predict future demand. Material allocation becomes easier, production schedules become more efficient, and the entire supply chain benefits from reduced uncertainty.

How Are You Vetting Your Supply Chain?

04/28/2026 | Didrik Bech, CONFIDEE
For many years, supplier management was largely focused on standard commercial priorities: cost, quality, lead time, and delivery performance. If a supplier met specifications, shipped on time, and remained price competitive, the relationship was often considered healthy. However, the world has changed.
