Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Zhen Ding Kaohsiung AI Park Obtained the Investment Approval by the Southern Taiwan Science Park Bureau
December 30, 2024 | Zhen Ding TechnologyEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Zhen Ding Technology Holding Limited, a global leading PCB manufacturer, reported, obtained the investment application of its subsidiary in Kaohsiung Al Park approved by the Southern Taiwan Science Park Bureau.
It is estimated that the future investment amount is NT$2 billion. In addition to the research and development and production of high-layer counts RPCB and high-density Interconnects boards (HLC-HDI) for Al server needs, in order to cooperate with important customers to develop the technology required for the next generation of high-end hardboard products, a hardboard research and development center will be built simultaneously in the STSP branch to establish relevant technical capabilities early, and through cooperation with important customers, it will cultivate printed circuit board technical talents with an international view to respond to the era of rapid competition in the future.
Testimonial

Dan’s Biz Bookshelf: ‘The Next RenAIssance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential’
04/29/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: Dan's Biz BookshelfZack Kass delivers something truly special in "The Next RenAIssance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential," a book that doesn’t just explain artificial intelligence—it reframes how we think about our future as individuals, leaders, and innovators. Written in a tone that is both accessible and deeply insightful, Kass manages to turn a complex, often intimidating subject into an energizing call to action. This is not a book about machines replacing humans. It’s a book about humans becoming more of who they’re capable of being.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
03/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It’s been a busy week for many of us traversing the conference halls and exhibition floor at APEX EXPO in Anaheim, California. This is the 26th event since it was renamed APEX EXPO in 2000. For those who love trivia, and in reverence to the founders, a more accurate accounting is that 2026 marks its 33rd year, beginning in 1994 as the IPC Printed Circuits Expo. It’s always a great time to convene with old friends, colleagues, and customers, as well as to meet exciting new companies and individuals with interesting things to share. And afterwards, it’s always nice to get home.
Marcy’s Musings: Our Own March Madness
03/18/2026 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsI spend a lot of time looking ahead, whether that's toward future technology, market needs, or even the future of my editorial calendar. The industry is looking ahead as well. Every year at APEX EXPO, for example, participants get a clearer look at where we’re headed over the next three to five years. In fact, as our March issue is published, we will be in the throes of another great show (our own version of March Madness).
Standard of Excellence: Building the Board of the Future—Materials, Methods, and Mindset
02/18/2026 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceThe future of PCB manufacturing is here. The products we’re being asked to build today would have been called “advanced” just a few years ago. What was once special is now standard, and what was once impossible is now expected. The challenge and the opportunity lie in leading the charge to the next frontier of printed circuit board design, materials, and manufacturing discipline. To build the board of the future, we need new materials, smarter methods, and a mindset of innovation anchored in flawless execution.
EMS Leadership Summit: A Smarter Way to Gather EMS Leaders
02/11/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineMark Wolfe is a career EMS and electronics expert, whose leadership has helped expand and improve the EMS Leadership Summit at APEX EXPO. Last year’s event received a huge approval rating from attendees: a whopping 96% said they’d be back. Not content to rest on those laurels, Mark and his team have put together a program that preserves the Summit’s strengths while finding ways to improve. In this interview, Mark makes a strong argument why EMS leadership at all levels should take a day to examine the wider picture of our industry.
