Stay Ahead of PCB Project Deadlines with Advanced Harness Design Tools
5 minBlog
If you’ve worked on complex electronics products, you’ve likely experienced the crunch that happens when harness design becomes the bottleneck. Deadlines approach, last-minute changes roll in, and suddenly your team is stuck reconciling cable drawings, connector pinouts, and outdated documentation. All while trying to keep the project on track.
Modern electronic systems become more integrated and harness design is no longer a back-end task. It’s...

Simplify Harness-to-System Connections for Better PCB Design Outcomes
6 minBlog
The PCB is no longer an isolated island. It’s part of a dense web of connections, to power modules, sensor networks, UI components, and more, all tied together by intricate wire harnesses. These harnesses, far from being simple “cable bundles,” are now critical conduits in system-level performance, safety, and manufacturability.
And yet, harness-to-PCB integration often remains one of the most fragmented and error-prone aspects of the design...

What PCB Designers Need to Know About Flexible Circuit Materials and Assembly
6 minBlog
Designing flexible circuits can feel a bit like sending your kid off to camp, you pack them up the best you can, hope for the best, and cross your fingers that they come back in one piece. From the PCB fabrication side of things, we see all the ways those good intentions can go sideways, usually because of small choices around materials or assembly that turn into big problems down the line.
There can oftentimes be a gap between what a PCB...

Building the Right Team for Electronics Design
12 minBlog
Building and growing the right team for electronics design in today’s job market can be quite challenging. We sometimes feel that as our company grows, the talent pool dwindles. We embark on a search for the perfect designers, seeking out individuals who can “do it all.” For some, we idealize this knight in shining armor as a senior engineer, armed with his HP calculator in one hand and electronics textbooks in another. For others, it is the whiz...

Energy Harvesting Electronics: From CES 2025 to a Battery-Free Future
6 minNewsletters
The electronics industry is on the cusp of a quiet revolution. For decades, our devices – from smart sensors and wearables to remote monitors – have relied on disposable batteries that are costly to replace and difficult to recycle. But what if those devices could power themselves?
Thanks to breakthroughs in energy harvesting, self-powering devices are becoming a reality. From kinetic generators to photovoltaic hybrids, new energy harvesting...

Electret Generators: The Unsung Heroes of Motion Energy Harvesting
6 minNewsletters
Electret generators are the unsung heroes of energy harvesting. These electrostatic generators convert ambient mechanical energy – such as vibration, motion, and pressure – into electrical power using electret materials. With no coils, no magnets, and few moving parts, they use electrostatic induction to convert subtle movements into usable current, with no external priming or charging required. Their simplicity and durability make them effective...

Governments around the globe are directly or indirectly addressing the aspect of sustainability, though in varying degree and intensity, not least in respect to recent inflation and international supply chain tariffs. They are calling upon manufacturers to reduce waste, energy consumption, chemicals, and their general environmental impact across the products' life cycle.
The electronic product life cycle constitutes an industry that must handle...

How Structural Electronics Is Reshaping Electrical Engineering
9 minBlog
In the ever-evolving landscape of electrical engineering, a revolutionary approach is gaining momentum: structural electronics.
Unlike traditional electronics that are housed within protective casings, structural electronics integrate electrical functionality directly into the materials that form the structure of a device.
This paradigm shift represents a fundamental reimagining of how we design, manufacture, and implement electronic systems....
