Current IssueDon’t Just Survive, Thrive
If we are to be relevant and prosper during these next critical decades in electronics, we must do more than survive. As an industry, we can and must thrive. In this issue, our contributors explore these concepts meant to help you take your business to the next level.
Material Matters
Materials management is nuanced, multifaceted, and requires a holistic systems approach for business success. When building high mix, low volume, and high technology, managing materials and overall cost containment are even greater challenges.
Additive Manufacturing
In this month’s issue, we explore additive manufacturing technology for the PCB fabricator: where it stands today, the true benefits, and where it seems to be headed.

Abhay Doshi, Managing Director of Fine-Line Circuits Ltd, has announced that his company will be exhibiting at this year’s International Microwave Symposium (IMS) to be held June 11-17 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.
It is Fine-Line’s mission to provide PCBs and PCBAs that deliver to the customer the RF performance they expect. They achieve this by working with every customer from the start through material selection, design optimization and final simulation, material stocking, PCB fabrication, and PCBA assembly to ensure expected precise RF performance.
When making this announcement Mr. Doshi said, “This is an excellent symposium and exhibition for us as we continue to increase our share of PCB supplies to the RF market. For a number of years now have been focused on RF and Microwave Systems requirements and the IMS 2023 symposium gives us the opportunity to talk to other like-minded individuals about this growing segment of the Electronics market. We look forward to meeting and talking with potential partners and customers in San Diego in June.”
Fine-Line Circuits will exhibiting in Booth 1713 sharing their expertise on providing the ideal surface finish for RF Microwave PCBs – Electrolytic Thick Gold Direct on Copper which gives a great skin and no Nickel related signal losses giving the designer the precise RF performance that the system is designed for.
Fine-Line has built a variety of PCB boards (hybrids, cavities, copper back, oversized PCBs) for a variety of Space and Defense Applications and other various systems (satcoms, radar, antenna, dividers, amplifiers, etc).

Trouble in Your Tank: Materials for PWB Fabrication—Drillability and Metallization
07/16/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankLaminate materials are the building blocks on which printed circuit boards are manufactured. Circuit board designers rely on the critical electrical properties of the materials to design the interconnects, and with the drive toward IoT (internet of things), autonomous driving, and virtual and augmented reality, material properties take on a very high level of importance.
Beyond Prepreg: The Glassless ‘Revolution’
06/25/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineAs our industry rallies around the call to action for HDI and UHDI, we find unparalleled and myriad laminate options. This abundance is rivaled only by the question surrounding them: Can they measure up to the high technology packaging demands required in our near future? Unsurprisingly, recent developments in FR-4-esque materials for high-speed and high-density designs, as well as newer, glassless technology for replacing traditional glass-impregnated laminates and prepreg, are garnering much interest. I caught up with Alun Morgan, technology ambassador for Ventec International Group, to ask about the impending “glassless revolution” and how it’s poised to solve some of our manufacturing challenges.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Lamination and Materials
06/19/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsAs many of you have likely figured out, I am quite passionate about the subject of designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. I wrote a book about it and I participate in an I-Connect007 On the Line with… podcast series dedicated to the subject. This companion article will focus on multilayer lamination, keeping the bigger picture in mind: Realistic PCB designs should prioritize manufacturability and reliability of the PCB as well as meet the other design requirements. So, one must account for the production variables associated with individual manufacturing partners.
Day 2: A Full Day at the EIPC Summer Conference
06/19/2024 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Editor's note: This is the third and final report from the EIPC Summer Conference. It was a bright and early start to the second day of the 2024 EIPC Summer Conference at the European Space Centre, Noordwijk, The Netherlands, June 4-5. A short journey by bus from the hotel in Leiden and our security passes from the day before got us through the gate and to our seats in the Newton Room for Session 4, “Material Studies,” moderated by Martyn Gaudion.
