Current IssueRules 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.
Silicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.

The PCBAA Accepts All Flex Solutions as Newest Member
July 31, 2024 | All Flex SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Established in 2021, The Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA) is a consortium of U.S.-based companies that advocate for U.S. domestic production of printed circuit boards (PCBs), the materials they are made of, as well as the protection of their supply chain.
As technology continues to advance, PCBs will continue to serve as the backbone of microelectronics. Everything from consumer electronics to life and mission-critical systems depends on PCBs. Over the past 20 years, however, PCB production has rapidly been moved to other countries. Where the U.S. at one time produced over 26% of the world’s PCBs, we now produce 4%. The ongoing reliance of overseas production creates risk for both American businesses and national security.
The PCBAA seeks to promote an environment in which U.S.-based PCB manufacturers can thrive, a goal that All Flex Solutions aligns with as well. CEO Kevin Jackson comments “We are excited to be part of the growing 61 industry partners and peers within the PCBAA! We are aligned with the Purpose to advocate for U.S. domestic production of printed circuit boards and the materials they are made out of, as well as the protection of the supply chain.”
All Flex Solutions is proud to become part of the PCBAA, and we are excited for the differences and change we’re going to make together.
