Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Sondrel Announces Two New Design Contract Wins
February 29, 2024 | SondrelEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Sondrel, a leading provider of ultra-complex chips for leading global technology brands, announces that it has secured two new contracts to supply Design Consultancy Services for a Network processor chip and a Radio Transceiver chip. In addition, Sondrel has received new purchase orders for Design Consultancy Services from two existing customers operating in the Network processor and Edge AI Processor sectors. These purchase orders are to provide design engineering support to implement these ultra-complex designs.
Graham Curren, Sondrel’s CEO, said, “While ASIC design and supply remain at the core of Sondrel's business strategy, we continue to selectively offer our Design Consultancy Services on leading edge designs through our experienced, multi-disciplinary team of engineers. These ultra-complex chip designs need well-established teams who have the experience of working together on leading edge nodes. Sondrel is one of only a handful of design companies with highly experienced, in-house teams with all the tools and design flows in place for working at the leading edge of silicon technology.
“Sondrel has over 130 design engineers which enables it to handle several big chip projects simultaneously by forming teams with the appropriate skill sets for the particular stage of each project such as front end, back end, verification or design for test. We can pull together a team to meet the specific requirements of a customer who needs help keeping complex design projects on schedule.”

Rules of Thumb for PCB Layout
11/21/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007The dictionary defines a “rule of thumb” as “a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on experience or practice rather than theory.” Rules of thumb are often the foundation of a PCB designer’s thought process when tackling a layout. Ultimately, a product spec or design guideline will provide the detailed design guidance, but rules of thumb can help to provide the general guidance that will help to streamline the layout process and avoid design or manufacturing issues.

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
