Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Bleeding-edge Manufacturing Applications, Part 2
December 23, 2024 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

Ultra high-density interconnect (UHDI) technology is transforming manufacturing by enabling compact, high-performance, and energy-efficient electronics in cutting-edge industrial systems. Its precision and scalability meet the demands of advanced manufacturing technologies. Here's another overview of bleeding-edge UHDI applications in manufacturing:
Smart Manufacturing and IoT-Driven Automation
UHDI enables the miniaturization and performance enhancement of IoT sensors, which are the backbone of Smart manufacturing. With this level of automation, UHDI aids in integrating advanced security measures within IoT devices to prevent data breaches.
- Compact IoT sensors and modules: For real-time data acquisition and machine monitoring
- High-density connectivity: For edge computing devices that process data locally in smart systems
- Energy-efficient controllers: For powering distributed sensor networks
- Multi-sensor integration: UHDI allows multiple sensors (e.g., temperature, pressure, vibration) to be packed into a single compact unit
- Real-time data processing: Dense circuitry ensures high-speed data acquisition and transmission
- Durability: Reliable connections for sensors operating in harsh factory environments
- Hardware-based encryption modules: Ensuring secure data transmission
- Compact circuits for secure booting: Protecting devices from unauthorized access
