Check out Mark Finstad's feature in the December digital on "Flex Final Finishes: can use rigid board finishes, but some of them crack under pressure the moment you ask them to bend." https://digital.pcea.net/issues/december-2025/the-flexperts/

"Is it possible for flex circuits to have the same final finishes available for rigid ?

Yes, you can use any of the final finishes available for , but whether you should use them depends on the application. Some standard finishes used on rigid PCBs are not suitable for flex applications. Here we go over some of the common and emerging finishes and the impact of using them on ."

Check out Akber Roy's feature in the December digital on "Hybrid vs. Single Material Stackup in : Good isn’t just about power; it’s about knowing where not to over-engineer."

"As modern electronic devices combine , high-speed digital and power circuitry on a single PCB, the demand for tailored electrical performance continues to increase. A hybrid material stackup is often adopted to meet such mixed-signal requirements, especially in where , and low dielectric loss are crucial.

In RF or , high-frequency materials significantly reduce insertion loss and signal degradation. Using these premium materials across the entire board, however, can be expensive and unnecessary for sections that carry low-speed or low-power signals."

Check out Marc Schwanbeck's feature in the December digital on "Nexperia Crisis Exposes Hidden Fragility in the : Just when the industry thought the shortage saga was over, the parts giant hit refresh on the chaos." https://digital.pcea.net/issues/december-2025/schwanbeck/

"The global electronics industry faces another shortage situation. What began as a governance dispute between the Dutch government and the Chinese ownership of Nexperia has morphed into a geopolitical crisis with wide-ranging impacts on the assembly industry.

Nexperia manufactures discrete semiconductors, including diodes, Mosfets, GaN FETs, IGBTs and analog and logic ICs. These are foundational components that populate virtually every PCB in applications ranging from automotive and home appliances to industrial equipment. The company operates assembly facilities in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands, with final testing and packaging performed in China."

Check out George Toms's feature in the December digital on "A Novel Synthesis Approach for Simplifying : Optimizing interconnects, fanouts and signal structures before ." https://digital.pcea.net/issues/december-2025/toms/

"As ( ) grow denser, faster and more power-constrained, designers face mounting challenges maintaining signal integrity, power efficiency and manufacturability. Traditionally, most optimization occurs after schematic capture – during placement and routing – when it’s often too late to remove structural inefficiencies.

A new logic-level approach directly impacts board-level performance and complexity. By optimizing interconnects, fanouts and signal structures before schematic capture, a new gate-level synthesis technology enables to start with a cleaner, more efficient foundation."

Check out Kevin VanNattan's feature in the December digital on "5 Things That Will Haunt Your Plating Tanks and practical steps to exorcise the chemistry demons." https://digital.pcea.net/issues/december-2025/vannattan/

"Each fall brings ghosts, goblins and, if you’re not careful, a few monsters lurking right inside your plating tanks. They won’t knock on your door or ring a bell, but they will hide in your agitation systems, anodes and cables. If ignored, they can turn a good product into scrap before you even notice."

Note: This is the fourth of four episodes on the subject of soldering materials. Today, we're diving into a topic that's reshaping how we think about thermal management, energy efficiency, and long-term performance in electronics manufacturing—low temperature soldering. Joining Mike Konrad is Dr. ...
