Design007 Magazine March 2025: Learning to Speak 'Fab'
March 10, 2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
When we started planning this issue, we couldn’t help comparing PCB designers and fabricators to citizens of different countries trying to communicate. They can each comprehend most of what the other person is saying, but a lot of the little things are lost in translation. And here again, it’s the little things that can cause big misunderstandings.
In the March 2025 issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. But as we see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

The Key to First-pass Success in PCB Design
04/10/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectIn the dynamic world of PCB manufacturing, achieving first-pass success hinges on more than just cutting-edge equipment and skilled teams. At Summit Interconnect, we have seen countless successful launches of advanced HDI designs that can be traced directly to engagement between designers and fabricators early in the design phase. Unfortunately, collaboration in the PCB industry often begins only after problems arise—such as field failures, assembly fallout, or low fabrication yields. This reactive approach is the wrong starting point for collaboration.
