Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3

06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone Pile
Tin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.

ASC Sunstone Circuits and Screaming Circuits Partner to Launch Online Assembly Parts Ordering – A New Step Toward Seamless PCB Production

06/23/2025 | ASC Sunstone
In a major step toward simplifying the PCB manufacturing and assembly process, ASC Sunstone Circuits and Screaming Circuits are proud to announce the launch of a new online assembly parts ordering feature, now available through Sunstone.com. This enhanced capability allows customers to source assembly components as part of their PCB order, creating a fully integrated experience from bare board fabrication to finished assembly.

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling

06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 Magazine
Is it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Day 2: More Cutting-edge Insights at the EIPC Summer Conference

06/18/2025 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007
The European Institute for the PCB Community (EIPC) summer conference took place this year in Edinburgh, Scotland, June 3-4. This is the third of three articles on the conference. The other two cover Day 1’s sessions and the opening keynote speech. Below is a recap of the second day’s sessions.

Beyond Design: The Metamorphosis of the PCB Router

06/18/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond Design
The traditional PCB design process is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Routing a complex PCB layout can consume up to 30% of a designer’s time, and addressing this issue is not straightforward. We have all encountered this scenario: You spend hours setting the constraints and finally hit the Go button, only to be surprised by the lack of visual appeal and the obvious flaws in the result.
