I-Connect007 Technical Library: Your Ultimate Free Knowledge Resource
May 12, 2025 | Barb Hockaday, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
I-Connect007’s technical library was created in 2016 with the launch of its first title, The Printed Circuit Buyer’s Guide to AS9100 Certification. Created to satisfy a need for readily available, free technical resources, the library has become a powerful knowledge hub for the printed circuit board and electronics manufacturing supply chain.
The digital library of books provides a comprehensive repository of expertise from leading industry professionals. Currently, more than 40 titles are available, with new additions being made regularly, making this collection the gold standard for both seasoned experts and newcomers alike.
What makes this library unique is its focus. At about 10,000 words each, these books cover essential industry topics—from PCB design and manufacturing best practices to emerging technologies and process optimization strategies—and are designed to thoroughly cover a specific slice of technology. Each publication undergoes a rigorous peer review process, ensuring the information is accurate, credible, and valuable to readers.
The program has grown into a robust library as a result of overwhelming industry interest. Subject matter experts from such companies as Siemens, American Standard Circuits, Koh Young, and Polar Instruments have recognized the value of sharing their expertise while positioning themselves as thought leaders, making this initiative highly successful.
“We are just about to release our third book with I-Connect007,” says Martyn Gaudion, managing director of Polar Instruments. “These books have gone far in establishing our credibility as a leading expert in the field of high-speed design.”

It’s just a novelty now, but it wasn’t that long ago that the card catalog was the end-all, be-all of research resources. As a college student, I remember something like two dozen or more of the very large card catalog cabinets in the Oregon State University Library.

Today’s access to a library’s contents have changed dramatically.
