The Chemical Connection: Common Misconceptions in Wet Processing
04/28/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionInitially, I thought an April Fool’s column would be fun this month. I could highlight some of the crazier ideas and misconceptions I’ve witnessed over the years from potential customers and we could all have a good laugh. For example, there was a first-time buyer of a ferric chloride etcher (with no regeneration system) who was astonished to learn that he had to put fresh etchant in the system occasionally to maintain production.

UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Drives Unique IoT Innovation in Farming
04/22/2025 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsThe combination of UHDI's high-bandwidth capabilities and IoT's real-time data processing can lead to more efficient, immersive, and smarter IoT systems. This convergence of two revolutionary technologies is enabling quantum advancements in some very “unconventional” applications. The typical discussions around UHDI focus on our standard electronics industry market segments like milaero, medical, consumer electronics, etc. IoT is all about machines talking to other machines, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, but again, typically applied in our PCB and assembly operations.
