07/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007
Today marks the 248th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress. Known widely in the U.S. as Independence Day or “The Fourth of July,” this day also commemorates the declaration by the Congress that the American colonies are free and independent states.

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. Let’s clear that up now. Cleaning and conformal coating are not separate decisions. They are two chapters in the same story—the story of reliability.

Facing the Future: Time for Real Talk, Early and Often, Between Design and Fabrication

07/08/2025 | Prashant Patel -- Column: Facing the Future
​​​​​​​There has always been a subtle but significant divide between those who design and those who build printed circuit boards. It’s not a hostile gap, but it is a real one, and in today’s high-speed, high-complexity, high-stakes environment, that gap is costing us more than time and yield. It’s costing us innovation.

Trouble in Your Tank: Can You Drill the Perfect Hole?

07/07/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your Tank
In the movie “Friday Night Lights,” the head football coach (played by Billy Bob Thornton) addresses his high school football team on a hot day in August in West Texas. He asks his players one question: “Can you be perfect?” That is an interesting question, in football and the printed circuit board fabrication world, where being perfect is somewhat elusive. When it comes to mechanical drilling and via formation, can you drill the perfect hole time after time?

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure

07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving Innovation
My first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.
