Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

TRI to Unveil New High-Throughput AOI and AXI at productronica 2023
September 15, 2023 | TRIEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Test Research, Inc. (TRI), the leading test and inspection systems provider for the electronics manufacturing industry, will join productronica 2023, which will be held at Messe München Center from November 14 – 17, 2023. Visit booth No. A2-139 to experience TRI's newly released test and inspection solutions.
TRI will unveil the newly released Ultra-High-Speed 3D AOI, TR7700QH SII, capable of inspecting at speeds of up to 80 cm²/sec, maintaining uncompromised Gauge R&R. The TR7700QH SII is powered by TRI's Smart Programming, AI Algorithms, and Metrology measurement capabilities. Also exhibiting will be the newly released high throughput 3D AXI, TR7600 SV, which offers up to 20% performance improvement compared to the award-winning TR7600 series. Powered by AI Algorithms, the high-speed 3D AXI can precisely detect Void defects.
TRI will showcase the newly released high-speed multi-angle 3D AOI, TR7500QE Plus, equipped with four 20MP side cameras and 1 top high-resolution camera. TRI's lineup will include the enhanced 3D SPI TR7007DI Plus, the high-end 3D AXI TR7600F3D SII, and the Multi-core ICT with In-System LED Analysis function TR5001Q SII INLINE.
The AI solutions from TRI include the AI training tool, the AI Station, Verify Host, AI Smart Programming, and more. TRI Test and Inspection solutions comply with Industry 4.0 standards like the IPC-Hermes-9852, IPC-CFX, and IPC-DPMX.
TRI invites you to visit booth No. A2-139 at productronica 2023. Don't miss the opportunity to discuss with our experts how TRI solutions can enhance your production yield rate, reduce operational costs, and increase efficiency.

Tax Policy Update from IPC: The House Tax Bill, and What It Means for Electronics Manufacturers
05/20/2025 | IPCOn May 13, the House Ways and Means Committee advanced a major tax package that includes several provisions supported by IPC. These provisions—including restoring bonus depreciation, immediate R&D expensing, and strengthening the pass-through deduction—were identified by IPC members as key tools that would help them invest, grow, and compete more effectively.
Zero Touch Data Package: The Future of Seamless PCB Manufacturing
05/22/2025 | Dana Korf, Victory Giant TechnologyImagine a day when a design data file—not a traditional documentation package—is output directly from the eCAD system, transmitted to selected fabricators, and automatically loaded into their engineering/CAM systems, initiating tooling and production without any human intervention. This is zero touch data transfer in action. By eliminating manual processes, front-end personnel at fabrication facilities can be redeployed to strategic areas such as R&D and customer engagement.
Trouble in Your Tank: Yield Improvement and Reliability
05/22/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere’s a simple rule of business in manufacturing: “It is all about yields.” Higher yields for your products allow for increased profits and satisfied customers. When there are lower yields, overall cost to manufacture increases, and the additional time and strain on the factory floor affect the entire operation. Lower yields are often the result of “process drift,” when critical process parameters and specialized plating additives fall outside their acceptable ranges.
Recognizing IPC Scholarships, Awards, and Opportunities
05/21/2025 | Charlene Gunter du Plessis, IPC Education FoundationThere was no better way to end our year in 2024 than by recognizing hard-working and driven students and educators for their involvement and interests in the electronics manufacturing industry. Through the IPC Scholarship and Awards program, we can help students invest in their future and reward their hardworking and dedicated accomplishments.
