October 1, 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.
The I-Connect007's On the Line with...American Standard Circuits: UHDI podcast series is available now on the I-Connect007 platform and all major podcast directories.

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.
Jiva Leading the Charge Toward Sustainable Innovation
09/30/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineEnvironmental sustainability in business—product circularity—is a high priority these days. “Circularity,” the term meant to replace “recycling,” in its simplest definition, describes a full circle life for electronic products and all their elements. The result is re-use or a near-complete reintroduction of the base materials back into the supply chain, leaving very little left for waste. For what cannot be reused productively, the ultimate hope is to have better, less harmful means of disposal and/or materials that can seamlessly and harmlessly decompose and integrate back into the natural environment. That is where Jiva and Soluboard come in.
