Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Ventec Showcases Glass Free Revolution and Launches Chiplam Portfolio at APEX EXPO 2026.
March 11, 2026 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group invites attendees of APEX EXPO 2026 to Booth 4642 to experience its Glass Free Revolution and the official launch of chiplam, a new high-performance materials portfolio for advanced semiconductor packaging and test applications.
As PCB and semiconductor technologies accelerate toward higher speeds, greater density, and increased thermal demands, Ventec is delivering innovative material solutions engineered for performance, precision, and reliability.
Leading the Glass Free Revolution
Ventec will showcase its pro-bond and thermal-bond RCF & RCC Bondply materials, designed to enable ultra-high-speed designs and applications requiring advanced thermal management.
These glass free solutions are ideal for:
- MLO interposers
- Probe cards
- Load boards
- U-HDI
- Embedded designs
- MiB
- Component packaging applications
Ventec’s pro-bond series marks a significant advancement in dielectric material technology, offering high-performance, glass free laminates engineered for the most demanding electronic & thermal management applications.
This innovation is essential for high-speed and high-frequency designs in aerospace, automotive, and next-generation communication systems.
By eliminating woven glass in thermal-bond, the thermal insulating effect of glass is removed from the dielectric, optimizing thermal performance and heat dissipation in MiB and embedded component multi-layer build up structures and component packaging applications.
By eliminating glass reinforcement, Ventec’s Glass Free materials enhance signal integrity, improve dimensional stability, and optimize thermal performance, empowering designers to overcome the
limitations of traditional laminate constructions.

Powering the Future: Why Thermal Management Defines the Future of Electronics
04/15/2026 | Brian Buyea -- Column: Powering the FutureEvery leap forward in electronics comes with a familiar consequence: heat. Whether it’s a power module driving an electric vehicle, a laser diode used in surgery, or a 5G amplifier operating in orbit, higher performance inevitably means higher temperatures. While engineers celebrate breakthroughs in speed, density, and power, none of those specifications matter if the system can’t keep cool long enough to perform reliably.
