New Podcast Episode: How Does UHDI Benefit SWaP?
October 3, 2025 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
I-Connect007 has just released the latest episode in its groundbreaking podcast series on one of the most important innovations shaping the future of electronics manufacturing: ultra high density interconnect (UHDI).
In Episode 4, SWaP Considerations, host Nolan Johnson welcomes back industry expert John Johnson, Director of Quality and Advanced Technology at American Standard Circuits (ASC). Together, they explore how UHDI delivers measurable advantages in size, weight, and power (SWaP)—unlocking new possibilities in speed, efficiency, and miniaturization.
“John paints a clear picture for listeners of how the industry can leverage these innovations to push the boundaries of performance and design,” says host Nolan Johnson of the 12-part series.
Across the series, listeners step inside the evolving world of UHDI with insider perspectives, practical examples, and clear takeaways that show how this technology is reshaping electronics. Each episode is paired with downloadable resources that make applying the lessons directly to professional development and day-to-day challenges easy.

SEMICON West: The Path to a $1 Trillion Future
10/14/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007After more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West moved its 2025 show to Phoenix, which is significant because it highlights the importance of Arizona as a semiconductor and tech hub. Though the show will be back in San Francisco in 2026, the overwhelmingly warm welcome SEMI received from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, and ASU President Michael Crowe—who has been responsible for ASU repeatedly achieving the U.S. News and World Reports most innovative university ranking—was remarked upon repeatedly. All indications are that SEMICON West may well be back in Phoenix after that 2026 season.

10/10/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007I-Connect007 has a new monthly digest newsletter, the Advanced Electronic Packaging Digest, and as I was scanning our advanced packaging newsfeeds this week, I came across a primer from tokenring.ai (republished through station WRAL, Raleigh, North Carolina), which I found quite useful. Whether you’re a designer, fabricator, or assembler, the package schemes being developed will change how you work, so be sure to keep your eye on the technological horizon and subscribe to the monthly Advanced Electronic Packaging Digest.
New Fil Arzola Class: Designing for the Future, and for Sustainability
10/07/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007If you have not yet taken a class from Fil Arzola, you are missing out. In late October, Fil will be teaching the class "Building Sustainable Model-Based PCBs," speaking from the design perspective. I had the pleasure of catching this course at last year's IPC APEX EXPO, and I walked away with a lot to think about. I asked Fil to discuss his upcoming course. Registration is open now.
