Circularity policy discussions in electronics risk remaining abstract and unworkable unless they are grounded in actual industry practice.
As AI continues to accelerate change across the electronics industry, Global Electronics Association executive leadership is paying close attention to how this transformation is reshaping both the digital and physical foundations of our ecosystem.
David Hernandez, VP, Education, shares insights from the 2026 Apprenticeships for America Summit
Save the dates for the German Regional Qualification for the IPC Hand Soldering Competition (HSC), taking place at productronica from 18 to 19 November 2025
This webinar explains how to use visual inspection alongside a plug-in thermal camera to detect circuit board faults. By spotting heat anomalies, engineers can quickly locate overheating components, shorts, or other issues that may not be visible — streamlining diagnostics and improving repair accuracy.
USPAE and IPC would like to invite you to participate in an IC substrate workshop planned for May 16, 2024, in Washington, D.C. The workshop will further IPC’s work on a U.S. Department of Defense-funded project to study and recommend approaches to addressing the country’s lack of IC substrate manufacturing capabilities.
Explore the world of PCB Board Fabrication and discover the journey of design artwork once it’s dispatched to the board shop. This comprehensive webinar provides insights into the process, making it a valuable resource for Electrical Engineers, PCB Layout Professionals, Supply Chain personnel, and anyone interested in PCB Board Fabrication. In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- Design and layout
- Material selection
- Drilling, imaging, and etching processes
- Plating and finishing
- Solder Mask materials and application
- Silkscreening
- Cost Drivers
