I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

08/28/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007
This week, the Global Electronics Association published its monthly report on PCB fabrication and EMS bookings and shipments, and the numbers are extremely positive. In EMS, the three-month book-to-bill ratio stands at 1.29 for July. Year-to-date EMS bookings are at 11% over 2025. The picture is similar in PCB fabrication as well. Year-to-date bookings are up 33% over last year, and book-to-bill stands at 1.46.

Road to Reliability: Failures, Monitoring, and Standards on the Path to EV Reliability

08/27/2026 | Stanton Rak, SF Rak Company
Throughout this series, we have examined the technologies, materials, architectures, and environmental challenges that influence the reliability of EV electronics. Yet reliability is ultimately judged in only one place: the field. Customers do not experience qualification reports, design reviews, or accelerated test results. They experience vehicles that either perform as expected or do not. As EV adoption expands globally, the industry has accumulated a growing body of field experience. These lessons reveal both the strengths of current designs and the areas where improvement remains necessary.

Where Will the Next Generation of Great Engineers Come From?

08/26/2026 | Brian Buyea, Remtec
Most young engineers do not grow up dreaming about careers in ceramic substrates or plating processes. It’s not because these careers are uninteresting. In many cases, young people simply do not know they exist. They are excited about AI, robotics, aerospace, autonomous vehicles, space exploration, renewable energy, electric vehicles, medical technology, and advanced computing. What many students do not yet understand is that virtually every one of those technologies depends upon an incredibly sophisticated electronics manufacturing infrastructure.

Decoding the CMMC Suspension

08/25/2026 | Divyash Patel, MX2 Technology
The recent CMMC suspension put all of us in something of a state of shock and confusion, and I have been closely following the discussion in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) community, including vendors, customers, and cybersecurity specialists. In a memo to my clients, I shared some details for the decision. A common theme among those reasons is cost and capacity. We’ve learned that CMMC has prohibitive compliance costs, with individual bills approaching $600,000; SBA estimates above $7 billion annually across the base, that there is a severe assessor shortage; roughly 100,000+ firms need assessments from only about 100 approved organizations and that the DoD stood up a 60-day CMMC Reform Task Force to recommend a lower-barrier replacement framework.
