I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
October 2, 2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
This week, I was fortunate to attend PCB West in Santa Clara, California, and was reminded of the idyllic weather of that part of California in the early fall. Attendance was high at the weeklong conference and one-day expo, allowing the show to maintain its place as one of the best events for PCB and PCB design. As always, it was great to see old friends and familiar faces. Stay tuned for more PCB West coverage.
Connect the Dots: Getting the PCB Quote Right
September 30, 2026 | Matt Stevenson, Connect the Dots
Once the PCB design moves from the designer’s hands to the fabricator, the quote process becomes much more than a matter of price. It’s where we determine what it will take to build your board successfully, from materials and capabilities to cost and production requirements. The more closely designers and fabricators work together during this stage, the better the opportunity to identify potential problems before they reach production.
