Catching Up with Circuit Connect
November 19, 2015 | Dan Beaulieu, D.B. Management GroupEstimated reading time: 9 minutes
Circuit Connect: We are in the planning stages of setting up on-site seminars and what we call Lunch & Learns, as well as tours so that people can come and learn more about our technology. We want to be a true industry resource. In terms of the future of the industry, that goes hand in hand with what we have been talking about. If we are going to progress and continue to build cutting-edge products, then we are going to have to work together. Look, there is no doubt that this is still the most innovative country in the world, with the most new and innovative product-seeking consumers and we have to take advantage of that. We have to work together, pushing all of our technology envelopes, whatever our products are, to make sure that we are always at the very top of the technology curve.
Dan: Okay, does that mean all new equipment?
Circuit Connect: In some cases, yes. Certainly in terms of the new LDIs and systems like that, new equipment is on the horizon for us as it is for all board shops. But let’s not forget ingenuity. I guess being here in New England, we like to claim it as good old “Yankee ingenuity,” which means finding a way with what you have on hand. We do a lot of that here at Circuit Connect. We find new ways to do things using the technology we have already and, yes, it does work.
Dan: Well guys, thanks for spending so much time with me today. It has been fascinating to say the least.
Circuit Connect: It’s been our pleasure, Dan. We’re willing to do this any time. Like we said, we want to educate people on what we are doing here. Let them know that they can come here with their new products and we’ll do everything we can to support and help them create the best product that can be built today.

How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
50% Copper Tariffs, 100% Chip Uncertainty, and a Truce
08/19/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007If you’re like me, tariffs were not on your radar screen until a few months ago, but now political rhetoric has turned to presidential action. Tariffs are front-page news with major developments coming directly from the Oval Office. These are not typical times. President Donald Trump campaigned on tariff reform, and he’s now busy revamping America’s tariff policy.
Global PCB Connections: Understanding the General Fabrication Process—A Designer’s Hidden Advantage
08/14/2025 | Markus Voeltz -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsDesigners don’t need to become fabricators, but understanding the basics of PCB fabrication can save you time, money, and frustration. The more you understand what’s happening on the shop floor, the better you’ll be able to prevent downstream issues. As you move into more advanced designs like HDI, flex circuits, stacked vias, and embedded components, this foundational knowledge becomes even more critical. Remember: the fabricator is your partner.
