IPC APEX EXPO 2021 week kicks off today in a first-ever virtual format. IPC Board Chair Shane Whiteside captures the essence of the weeklong event perfectly:
“This year, IPC will bring experts together to help companies transform and modernize as we look toward the future of electronics manufacturing. Our technical conference reflects that transformation by offering a three-track educational event, featuring:
- Factory of the Future implementation
- PCB Fabrication and materials
- Quality, Reliability, Assembly, Test and Inspection
The 24-page IPC APEX EXPO program of courses and conference events details the events, technical program, keynotes, and much more. Still need to register? You’ll find details in the program. Professional development courses? Listed in the program. Technical conference tracks? Yep! In the program. Keynotes and Managers Forums? You got it—in the program!”

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
