Happy new year, PCB crowd! May 2026 bring you easy layouts, DFM passes, component availability... What else can we wish you?

This was our most attended webinar of the year: How to Design Transmission Lines with Controlled Impedance with Copper Mountain Technologies Watch here: youtu.be/OmQK3KwLYUU?si… Thanks to everyone who watched our webinars in 2025.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to our customers, partners, webinar speakers, event collaborators, Sierrathon co-conspirators... 🎄 Whether you bought our boards or got on board with our crazy PCB projects, we thank you and hope to see more of you in 2026!

Sierra Circuits' KiCad Quote Plugin Sierra Circuits collaborated with #KiCad to create a plugin that enables users to get a quote directly from the KiCad software. #pcbmanufacturing #pcbdesigners #ems

Between a bite of mashed potatoes and green beans, maybe ask your loved ones if they need PCBs? It's safer than politics! LOL Happy Thanksgiving and stay grounded.

Honoring our veterans and the mission-critical technology they inspire.

Sooooooooooo... We don't know about you, but this is our plan for Labor Day. Have a wonderful long weekend, PCB people!

When routing PCB traces, how close is too close to the edge? It’s a simple question that can lead to costly mistakes if you don’t know what your fabricator can handle. You can watch this 1-min video on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/YmAVizpNyuI?si…

We hear it's National Relaxation Day. Perfect to listen to the new Trace Talks with Neil Jarvis of Rohde & Schwarz... youtu.be/IjhOwursgSI

NEWISH TOOL: PDN Analyzer We've had this tool for a while but haven't done much promo. It determines the target impedance for a PDN based on the power rail voltage, max power rail current, acceptable voltage ripple and switching current.  Try it here: bit.ly/3J3hJpD

So anyone doing anything fun this summer?
