Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Eltek Relocates U.S. Subsidiary
June 9, 2015 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Eltek Ltd, Israeli manufacturer of advanced circuitry solutions, including complex build-ups of rigid and flex-rigid printed circuit boards, announced that it has completed the relocation of its US-based subsidiary, Eltek USA, into a new facility.
Located in downtown Manchester, New Hampshire, within one of the largest re-purposed historic mill buildings (Waumbec Mill) in Manchester, the Company's US facility is now located closer to the Manchester Airport and to major hotels and restaurants.
Mr. Jim Barry, President of Eltek USA, stated: "The new location offers a number of benefits, including a major facility for functions. It is also within walking distance to three college campuses. We plan to start hosting technical conferences and meetings at this location, bringing together existing and potential new customers with our technical experts."
"As a corporate member of the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) and IPC, and as an innovator in the rigid-flex market, we are well positioned to support our local customers from this location. The new location will also give us the capability to have onsite source inspection in the US. In addition, steps taken by our parent company at its manufacturing plant in Petach-Tikva to enhance our service to our US customers are already yielding a positive market response," Mr. Barry concluded.

IPC Japan Puts More Focus on Collaboration, Standards Development, Advanced Packaging
11/26/2024 | Yusaku Kono, IPC Japan RepresentativeIn the past year, IPC has strengthened its relationships with key Japanese companies and government bodies. This was accomplished, in part, by a visit to Japan this past summer, where members of the IPC Asia team, punctuated by standards committee work last winter, forged stronger ties with government officials and companies involved in electronics manufacturing.
IPC Hall of Fame Spotlight Series: Highlighting Patty Goldman
11/22/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In my first article of this special series, I wrote a synopsis of the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame (HOF) Award, along with a commentary on its first few members, particularly Pritchard. Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded this high honor and recognition. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Patty Goldman.

Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
