Catching Up with Circuit Connect

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.

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.
