About the Author
John Burkhert Jr is a Principle PCB Designer in retirement. For the past several years he has
been sharing what he has learned for the sake of helping fresh and ambitious PCB Designers.
The knowledge is passed along through stories and lessons learned from three decades of
design including the most basic one-layer board up to the high reliability rigid-flex HDI
designs for aerospace and military applications. John's well earned free time is spent on a
bike or with a mic - doing a karaoke jam.
