The Knowledge Base: A Conference for Cleaning and Coating of Mission-critical Electronics

07/08/2025 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge Base
In electronics manufacturing, there’s a dangerous misconception that cleaning and coating are standalone options, that they operate in different lanes, and that one can compensate for the other.

Nolan’s Notes: Finding Your Sweet Spot

07/02/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's Notes
I grew up in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where I still call home. In my early years, the region’s economy was fueled by forestry, agriculture, and fisheries.

My dad worked at Tektronix with a side gig operating a commercial fishing boat in the summer.

If you caught the movie “Barbie,” you may have laughed at its over-the-top utopia where every day begins with perfect weather, perfect smiles, and a perfectly pink commute. But beyond the plastic glam, the film subtly critiques the illusion of perfection—a message that feels surprisingly relevant to the world of PCB design and manufacturing.
