Supply Chain Integrity: Protecting Your Business from Counterfeit Electronics - A Non-Technical Guide to Component Authentication
Join SAE G19A subcommittee expert Anthony Bryant for an essential one-hour webinar focused on supply chain integrity and counterfeit electronics prevention. This session is specifically designed for non-technical personnel working in the electronics component supply chain including procurement professionals, supply chain managers, quality assurance staff, and business leaders.
With counterfeit electronics reporting increasing by 25% in 2024 to over 1,055 suspect parts, the threat to supply chain integrity has never been more critical. This webinar will equip attendees with practical knowledge to identify red flags, understand current trends, and implement effective counterfeit mitigation strategies that protect both business operations and end-user safety.
Key Learning Outcomes:
• Understand current counterfeit electronics trends and their business impact
• Learn visual inspection techniques requiring no technical background
• Identify documentation red flags and fraudulent paperwork
• Recognize supplier risk indicators and sourcing vulnerabilities
• Implement practical counterfeit avoidance strategies
• Understand regulatory compliance requirements and industry standards
Target Audience: Procurement professionals, supply chain managers, quality assurance personnel, business leaders, and anyone involved in electronics component sourcing and management.
Wire bonding remains the dominant chip-interconnection method—and it's not going anywhere soon. This webinar offers a practical overview of modern wire bonding processes, metrology challenges, and emerging materials. Learn about pitch shrinkage demands, direct bonding to Cu on ULK substrates, and innovations like silver and gold-coated palladium copper wires. Explore key bonding techniques including thermosonic, ultrasonic, and thermocompression, plus new options for Cu wire coatings.
Perfect for engineers navigating next-gen packaging and reliability.

Why do electronics fail EMC testing, usually radiated emissions, when they don't have any antennas on board--or at least no antennas for below 500 MHz?
This interactive, virtual event will explain the main ways that cables and boards can act like antennas even though they're not designed to radiate. We'll discuss the two main radiating mechanisms and how they manifest in electronics hardware. Cables and split planes will get the most attention. We'll also include a live hardware demo that shows how these interactions play out in real life.

Quality AI is only as Good as Your Data – “Setting Yourself Up for Good AI Outcomes”
Know the Data – Capture the Data – Use the Data
The push to increase manufacturing operations with the incorporation of AI continues to surge. To ensure usable, accurate outcomes, an assessment of current operations is needed to establish an AI dataset that will serve as the baseline for analyzing and interpreting the process. A system needs to be established to report process improvements and corrective actions based on the baseline dataset. The quality plan can now be implemented using the baseline data, with enhancements to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Join our panel discussion and learn about the critical data needed to establish the Quality Process, establish the Quality Documentation & Compliance System to support the process, and to provide the Quality Manager, Production Manager, or Operations Manager with quality data to implement the Quality Process, Documentation & Compliance.
The takeaways will be to:
1. Know the Data with Shop floor planning
2. Capture the Data with Quality Plans & Compliance
3. Use the Data to Isolate the defects, establish Sort & Inspection Criteria, & Implement Rapid Deployment with real-time reporting to ensure Good Quality Outcomes!
