Tom Hausherr CEO, Director of Technology Back in 1974, Tom Hausherr started his PCB design career at Technitron, Inc., located in Wheaton, IL. He performed PCB hand taping, drew India ink schematic drawings, handwrote Bills of Materials and used rub-off letters with silkscreen reference designators. This was the caveman age of the electronics industry. Today, Tom spearheads the effort to finally globalize the world standard library technology and also offers consultation services to companies with chaotic library systems. After 25 years, Tom’s vision of a world-standard CAD library technology is finally coming true with the electronics industries’ adaptation of IPC-7351A.  read more...
