IPC Skills Challenge Competitions Return to India Region
October 13, 2021 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
To commemorate IPC India’s decade of service to the electronics manufacturing industry, the IPC India team will hold skills challenge competitions and member networking events starting this November across different parts of the country. Winners of regional competitions will gather in Bengaluru and New Delhi in August 2022 to compete in PCB design, hand soldering and wire harness assembly championships.
The skills challenge semi-final competition will take place on August 2 (Bengaluru) with championship taking place on August 4 (New Delhi) at Integrated Electronics Manufacturing Interconnections (IEMI) 2022. In addition to the skills championships, panel discussions and technical conference program sessions will focus on information communication technology on August 2 and on August 4, topics and discussions will focus on the defense and aerospace technology.
IPC Skills Challenge Phases:
November 2021 – March 2022
- Competitors from electronics companies send registration form to IPC India
- As per IPC competition guidelines, companies organize hand soldering/wire harness assembly/PCB design challenges at their company premises using own tools/equipment
- Companies can nominate observers/judges from own company if IPC certified individuals available, otherwise IPC will provide IPC certified observers/judges
- IPC present certificates to winner and runner up at each company location
April 2022 – July 2022: IPC India will organize semi-final competition round with the winners of the first rounds at networking events at Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Bengaluru, Colombo (TBC) and New Delhi (August 2, 2022)
August 4, 2022: Final Round to be played in Bengaluru.

Real Time with… IPC APEX EXPO 2024: Ventec Discusses New Pro-bond Family of Advanced Products
05/01/2024 | Real Time with...IPC APEX EXPOChris Hanson, Ventec's Global Head of IMS Technology, outlines the launch of four pro-bond formulas that deliver an outstanding combination of low dissipation factor (Df) with a dielectric constant (Dk) range to maximize the design window for critical PCB parameters. As Chris points out, Pro-bond is designed for low-loss, high-speed applications, while thermal-bond dissipates heat from a component through the board to a heat sink.

iNEMI Packaging Tech Topic Series: Role of EDA in Advanced Semiconductor Packaging
04/26/2024 | iNEMIAdvanced semiconductor packaging with heterogenous integration has made on-package integration of multiple chips a crucial part of finding alternatives to transistor scaling. Historically, EDA tools for front-end and back-end design have evolved separately; however, design complexity and the increased number of die-to-die or die-to-substrate interconnections has led to the need for EDA tools that can support integration of overall design planning, implementation, and system analysis in a single cockpit.
