3 Key Takeaways: Design for Test Starts Long Before the First Test

08/05/2026 | I-Connect007 Editorial Team
Design for test has traditionally been viewed as the last checkpoint before a product enters production. Bert Horner's The Printed Circuit Assembler's Guide to... Design for Test challenges that thinking. In his book, he argues that testability should influence every stage of PCB and CCA development, from the first schematic through layout, manufacturing, inspection, and long-term product support. The result is a practical guide that connects engineering decisions with measurable manufacturing outcomes.

IBIDEN reported strong first-quarter fiscal 2026 performance, driven by robust demand for GPUs, high-end CPUs, and AI-related semiconductor package substrates.

Removing the Bottleneck: ZOT's Transition to Direct Imaging

08/05/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
For many PCB fabricators, solder mask imaging can become one of the biggest constraints on production. Traditional exposure methods often involve lengthy setup times, multiple process steps, and opportunities for registration errors, leading to costly rework. ZOT Engineering Ltd., a UK-based contract electronics manufacturer specializing in PCB fabrication and assembly, recently modernized this part of its process by partnering with Schmoll Maschinen to deploy a maskless direct imaging (MDI) system.

USMCA Rules of Origin for Electronics: What Could Change in 2026

08/05/2026 | James Kim, Arentfox Schiff LLP
In my first article on the USMCA, I explained why the USMCA six-year review matters to the electronics industry and where the negotiations currently stand. Now I want to get under the hood, because the most consequential changes for electronics manufacturers are in the rules of origin, the technical framework that determines whether your product gets duty-free treatment under USMCA. Free trade agreements don't just lower tariffs; they also determine what counts as an “originating” product.
