Where Electronics Manufacturing Turns for Trusted Technical Insight
January 12, 2026 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
In an industry defined by rapid innovation, increasing system complexity, and mounting pressure to deliver reliable products faster, access to credible technical insight is more important than ever. I-Connect007’s Industry Resource Center was created to serve as a centralized, freely accessible library of in-depth whitepapers that address the challenges facing today’s electronics professionals.
The Resource Center was built with engineers, manufacturers, and decision-makers in mind, and reflects I-Connect007’s long-standing commitment to education, technical rigor, and practical relevance across the electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
The whitepapers featured in the Industry Resource Center span the full electronics lifecycle, covering topics from advanced packaging and board-level integration to materials selection, reliability, and sustainability. These resources have been commissioned by the leading voices in the industry, including the Global Electronics Association, MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, NCAB Group, Taiyo Uden, and more. Together, they offer perspectives grounded in real-world manufacturing and design experience, providing readers with insight they can apply directly to current and future programs.
A recurring theme throughout the collection is the growing complexity of modern electronic systems and the need for tighter integration across traditionally separate disciplines. These papers focus on practical considerations such as material compatibility, reliability risk, and the increasing interdependence between design intent and manufacturing capability, underscoring why early cross-disciplinary alignment is becoming critical as products move toward next-generation integration strategies.
Sustainability is one prominent focus within the Resource Center, particularly in whitepapers commissioned by the Global Electronics Association. The content explores how environmental goals intersect with cost, reliability, compliance, and long-term product performance, helping manufacturers to understand where sustainability initiatives have a tangible impact on both engineering and business.
Material selection and protection strategies are also explored in depth, with guidance contributed by industry suppliers such as MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, and cover topics like conformal coatings and protective materials. These technical insights highlight the downstream effects of early material decisions on yield, process control, and long-term reliability, reinforcing the importance of informed choices early in the design cycle.
The whitepapers in I-Connect007’s Industry Resource Center emphasize informed, application-driven decision-making. By bringing together perspectives from industry associations and technology suppliers alike, the Resource Center provides readers with a well-rounded view of the technical forces shaping today’s electronics industry and the insights needed to navigate them with confidence.
Through opportunities like the Industry Resource Center, I-Connect007 continues to expand its role as an educational partner to the global electronics community, helping professionals stay informed, aligned, and prepared for what comes next.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
05/08/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007This week, I’ve selected some outstanding interviews that you’ll want to take note of. First, is a roundtable discussion featuring three dynamic industry cybersecurity experts. Please watch this important discussion that affects us all. Following that, I spotlight the IPC-2581 Consortium, which explains why IPC-2581 is the standard to replace Gerber data for manufacturing. Next, I am including my interview with PCBAA and AAM, who collaborated to release a short documentary on U.S. PCB manufacturing.
Hall of Fame Spotlight Series: Highlighting Karen McConnell
05/07/2026 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In 2021, Karen McConnell was awarded the Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame award in recognition of her contributions to the Association and the electronics industry. As a senior staff member and CAD/CAM engineer at Northrop Grumman Enterprise Services, her primary responsibility was to develop a common, shared EDM (Electronic Document Management) library to support the electrical and PCB design tool initiatives across Northrop Grumman Mission Systems.
A Necessary Shift From Gerber to IPC-2581
05/07/2026 | Tracy Riggan, Global Electronics AssociationIPC-2581 is an open, vendor-neutral data exchange standard developed by the Global Electronics Association to streamline the exchange of PCB design information across fabrication, assembly, and test. It replaces multiple legacy formats—including industry standards, Gerber, and ODB++—with a single, comprehensive, XML-based dataset that captures all manufacturing details.
Meet Emerging Engineers: Patrick Owen and Eric Mickenbecker, Summit Interconnect
05/05/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007Patrick Owen and Eric Mickenbecker both work for Summit Interconnect, and are in their second year of the Global Electronics Association’s Emerging Engineer Program with mentor Brian Chislea. They stopped by the I-Connect007 booth at APEX EXPO and shared a bit of their story with me. Patrick has worked at the Hollister, California, plant since 2018, while Eric has been at the Chicago site since 2023. Like many of their peers, they came to the electronics industry from different paths, but are both excited about making an impact.
PCBAA, AAM Take on the Fight to Rebuild U.S. Manufacturing in New Documentary
05/05/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Throughout most of the 20th century, manufacturing was central to the American Dream of providing stable jobs and pathways to upward mobility. Today, more than 80% of global electronics manufacturing capacity resides in China and greater Asia, raising serious concerns about supply chain resilience and national security.
