IPC Europe Forum Call for Papers: Innovation for Reliability
October 30, 2018 | IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
IPC is seeking presentations for its 3rd Annual High Reliability Forum for Electronics Subjected to Harsh Use Environments. IPC is interested in presentations on the following topics:
- Mechanical stress reliability — vibration and shock Methods (software) for predicting reliability
- Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA)
- Thermal Mitigation
- Thermal Stress Test Methods
- HDI Reliability
- Microvia Failures and Testing Methods
- Microvia Reliability
- Design for Reliability
- Design Rules for Spacing and Staggered Vias
- Failures Related to Laminate Materials
- Materials Compatibility
- System-level effects on Solder Joint Reliability
- Assembly Tests for Solder Joint Reliability
Presentations should be noncommercial and describe significant results from experiments, emphasize new techniques, discuss trends of interest and contain technical and/or appropriate test results. Presentations should be 45 minutes, including time for questions and answers.
Staff from companies such as NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Honeywell Aerospace, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, Motorola and Raytheon have presented papers at past IPC High Reliability Forums.
If you’re interested in presenting at this important industry event, please submit a brief abstract along with the title of your presentation to AliciaBalonek@ipc.org.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
