IPC's new plating requirements, which reduce the minimum wrap plating for certain vias to 5µm, offer PCB manufacturers enhanced capabilities for supporting finer line widths and spacing in advanced PCB designs. Summit Interconnect's Planning Supervisor, Michael Lowry, discusses this standard in Summit's latest blog: https://lnkd.in/ghBQTnZ7 #IPC #PCBmanufacturing #summitinterconnect

The U.S. PCB industry needs policies to increase our manufacturing capacity to support the DOD and our Warfighters and to increase our ability to support critical domestic infrastructure that is reliant upon securely processed PCBs. Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA) is leading the charge to educate elected officials, offering tools and guidance to ensure all voices are heard. In this article, PCBAA Chair and CEO of Summit Interconnect, Shane Whiteside, encourages all PCB companies to get involved and advocate for a stronger, more secure industry.

I am speaking at PCB West 2024 in Santa Clara. Hope to see everyone there in October.

UPCOMING WEBINAR: As more electronics are deployed into harsh environments, the well-established link between process residues and electrochemical migration (ECM) caused failures is forcing assemblers and their customers to re-examine modern cleaning processes. Thursday, July 25, 2024 @ 11 am PT. Register: https://hubs.ly/Q02GrCqZ0 This webinar will detail the relationship between clean assemblies and reliability and the reasons a historically successful no-clean process is measurably less successful on modern assemblies, especially when installed in harsh environments. Real-world examples from the automotive and communications space will be presented along with the solutions adopted by the manufacturers. Newly updated IPC cleanliness quantification standards will also be presented in order to answer the age-old question, “how clean is clean”. Presented by Mike Konrad, Founder and CEO of Aqueous Technologies and sponsored by Summit Interconnect.

Wishing everyone a happy 4th of July from Team Summit. As we gather with friends and family, join us in celebrating the innovation and grit that defines our nation and drives success in U.S. manufacturing. #Happy4thofJuly #USManufacturing #SummitInterconnect
