Every PCB design is a lesson in balance: speed vs. stability, density vs. clarity, performance vs. cost. What if we approached life with that same mindset? In the December issue of Design007 Magazine, we go beyond board design to show how designers, marketers, managers, and owners apply their professional skills to personal choices—and what it costs when that system is left to drift.

I-Connect007 is pleased to announce the release of Episode 11 of On the Line With… American Standard Circuits: Ultra HDI. In this episode, host Nolan Johnson continues his conversation with ASC’s John Johnson, turning the spotlight toward the next decade of PCB innovation and what lies beyond today’s breakthroughs in Ultra High Density Interconnect (UHDI).

Following a highly successful inaugural event, the Pan-European Electronics Design Conference (PEDC) returns, this time to Prague, Czech Republic, Jan. 21–22, 2026. In this Q&A, Peter Tranitz, the Global Electronics Association’s senior director of technology solutions, shares the value of attending PEDC, which aims to bring together PCB designers from across Europe to learn, network, and share their own knowledge.
