If you're an engineer or a sourcing professional, you’ve likely felt this pressure before: pick the right part, get it on time, stay under budget, make sure it works. The balance of cost, quality, and availability has always been a key consideration when selecting electronic components. However, in today's landscape, this balance has become arguably more challenging than ever to achieve, with the potential consequences of misjudgment more severe...

If you’ve been working with HDI (High-Density Interconnect) technology, you’ve probably noticed that the industry is pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Traditional HDI designs have relied on laser-drilled microvias around 4 mils in size, with capture pad diameters typically 8–10 mils larger. But technology never stands still, and now Ultra HDI is taking things to a whole new level, redefining via structure and density in ways that were...

For engineers, component selection is far from a mundane step in the PCB design process. Decisions directly impact project success, reliability, resilience, and scalability. Companies that have shifted to proactive component selection anticipate supply-chain and geo risks, safeguard against supply chain disruptions, and optimize designs for higher quality and extended product lifecycles. Unfortunately, many technology manufacturing businesses...
