Survey Says: Avnet's Insights Into How Engineers Are Adopting AI
02/09/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Avnet regularly surveys engineers to learn what they’re thinking. That sort of information is quite important to Alex Iuorio, vice president of supplier development at Avnet. In this interview, Alex talks about what he’s learned from the most recent survey and its implications to the supply market in 2026 and beyond. No surprise, AI plays a remarkably large role in all the current trends.
The Right Approach: Reflections on 50 Years in the Business, Part 1
02/10/2026 | Steve Williams -- Column: The Right ApproachLast September and October, I wrote a two-part column, "Electro-Tek: A Williams Family Legacy Part 1" and "Electro-Tek: A Williams Family Legacy Part 2," which prompted me to reflect on the changes I have witnessed over the past 50 years in the PCB and broader electronics industry. The prior articles focused on the family business and my dad, so a follow-up on my journey is a logical next step. In this new three part series, I will be looking back as 2026 marks my 50th year in the business, beginning with the first 22 years of my career manufacturing PCBs.
The Chemical Connection: Changes and Challenges Ahead in PCB Fabrication
02/09/2026 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWhat are the most influential changes in PCB fabrication in the next five years?

Most of the more radical predictions have fallen by the wayside, and those alternative processes have failed to produce the predicted results, becoming niche processes at best.
