Current IssueSignal Integrity
If you don’t have signal integrity problems now, you will eventually. This month, our expert contributors share a variety of SI techniques that can help designers avoid ground bounce, crosstalk, parasitic issues, and much more.
Proper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.

FastlinkPCB Accelerates Global Expansion, Builds Efficient PCB Industry Chain
May 26, 2025 | FastlinkPCBEstimated reading time: 1 minute

FastlinkPCB, a PCB manufacturing and assembly solutions provider, announced that it has completed the layout of subsidiaries in the US, Germany, Switzerland, and Malaysia over the past year, forming a localized service network covering North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Through technological innovation and global resource integration, FastlinkPCB is committed to delivering more reliable and cost-competitive PCB solutions for clients while building a risk-resilient global supply chain system.
"We are creating a global service system that operates closer to markets and responds faster," said the CEO of FastlinkPCB. "By establishing a global PCB industry chain, we aim to seamlessly connect production capacity, technology, and data worldwide. For example, design requirements submitted by clients in Germany can be optimized by engineers in Stuttgart for layer stack-up solutions and then produced and delivered by factories in China."
This global service system reduces communication barriers and shortens PCB delivery cycles. Local subsidiaries provide end-to-end technical support, from design optimization to mass production. Additionally, a "zero-time-difference" response mechanism, enabled by close collaboration between subsidiaries and headquarters, ensures rapid handling of urgent requests such as design changes or prototype iterations. This empowers electronics manufacturers to accelerate product launches and reduce development risks.
Facing the expedited HDI PCB manufacturing and assembly needs of a US medical device manufacturer, the required components require the use of original US brands. FastlinkPCB U.S. office urgently docked with the well-known U.S. component manufacturers, and completed the inventory confirmation and cost budget for the model within 3 hours, which accelerated the progress of the project. David, the head of FastlinkPCB's U.S. office, said: "Relying on FastlinkPCB's U.S. office and local supply chain network, we have compressed the overall production project cycle and communication time by up to 25%."
FastlinkPCB plans to further expand its global presence over the next three years, prioritizing the establishment of new technology centers and production bases in Vietnam and Mexico. This expansion will deepen coverage in the Asia-Pacific and Latin American markets. By strengthening its localized service network, the company aims to further shorten PCB delivery cycles, enhance supply chain responsiveness, and fully achieve its strategic vision of "Global Demand, Local Delivery."

Nolan’s Notes: Tariffs, Technologies, and Optimization
10/01/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesLast month, SMT007 Magazine spotlighted India, and boy, did we pick a good time to do so. Tariff and trade news involving India was breaking like a storm surge. The U.S. tariffs shifted India from one of the most favorable trade agreements to the least favorable. Electronics continue to be exempt for the time being, but lest you think that we’re free and clear because we manufacture electronics, steel and aluminum are specifically called out at the 50% tariff levels.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
09/26/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Though the news cycle felt a little less exclamatory this week, there were many global business news headlines worth revisiting. Among them, China announced a bold carbon emissions goal of 10% over the next decade to double its solar and wind power capacity. The Wall Street Journal published an article, “Global Port Leaders See Trade Shifting, Not Slowing,” a nod to businesses’ risk mitigation strategies and execution around overreliance on China coming into play in a bigger way.
