Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Eltek Reports 2025 Q1 Financial Results; Revenue Up 8%
May 20, 2025 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Eltek Ltd., a global manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced solutions in the field of printed circuit boards (PCBs), announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
First Quarter 2025 Highlights
- Revenues were $12.8 million
- Operating profit was $0.7 million
- Net income was $1.0 million or $0.15 per fully diluted share
- Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $0.1 million.
"We ended the first quarter of 2025 with revenues of $12.8 million, an increase of approximately 8% compared to Q1 2024, and 18.5% higher than Q4 2024. Net income totalled $1.0 million. Our gross margin was impacted, compared to Q1 2024, due to increased labor costs and the ramp-up of new production equipment, which temporarily led to lower yields," said Eli Yaffe, CEO of Eltek.
"Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, we continue to advance our investment program as planned. Our forecast that we will complete the accelerated investment plan by mid-2026 remains unchanged. We are undertaking all necessary preparations to ensure the swift and efficient integration of the new lines, with the goal of bringing them into full production," continued Mr. Yaffe.
"On the revenue side, we continue to experience strong demand for the Company's products, and we are seeing lead times increase across all our relevant market sectors. As previously communicated, we are actively working to expand the scope of our commercial sales—an effort that we anticipate will bear fruit during the rest of 2025 and in the years to follow," concluded Mr. Yaffe.

Training AI Together—Without Sharing Private Data
05/21/2025 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineArtificial intelligence models work better with more data. While individual EMS companies can certainly create plenty of data over time, the broader the data set, the more insightful the AI results can be. Ben Rachinger, a research assistant at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, received the NextGen Best Paper at IPC APEX EXPO 2025. His research asks: What if a model could be created that allowed industry-wide data in the model, while still protecting proprietary information?
