Current IssueThe Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?
Solder Printing
In this issue, we turn a discerning eye to solder paste printing. As apertures shrink, and the requirement for multiple thicknesses of paste on the same board becomes more commonplace, consistently and accurately applying paste becomes ever more challenging.

Super Dry Launches Series of Expandable Desiccant Cabinets
December 7, 2016 | Super DryEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Moisture specialist Super Dry has launched a new series of desiccant storage solutions.
Complementing the company’s extensive range of ultra-low humidity drying and storage cabinets, the MSD Series features very high performance dehumidification in a modular design that costs 50% less than conventional solutions.
Ever increasing miniaturization of electronics, including thinner components and new materials has made the management of moisture sensitivity an increasingly critical element of product reliability. Manufacturers are being challenged to manage larger and larger volumes of parts in a controlled and traceable manner.
Cabinet recovery time is a critical performance factor and frequent and extended door openings impact the interior environment. Super Dry® MSD cabinets provide recovery times after door openings of 3 minutes. The new closed loop U 5003 desiccant unit achieves <0.5% RH and is able to comfortably control 3600 liters (127 cubic feet) of storage. This reduces the cost of extended storage space by 50%, and can be added in the field. Performance data is traceable in real time via built in Ethernet connection. The ESD safe enclosures feature individually lockable doors which are alarmed for out of spec RH or extended opening times. Retractable steel shelves on metal roller bearings provide excellent ergonomics, and the unique aspect ratio is deep enough to even accept tape feeders.
About Super Dry®
Delivering globally to the world’s top tier OEM and EMS companies, and manufacturing in Asia and inEurope, Totech Super Dry has become the industry measure for ultra low humidity storage cabinets. Proper control of moisture sensitive devices (MSDs) per IPC and JEDEC standards has become more critical than ever since the introduction of lead free and its higher reflow temperatures. Boasting <1% relative humidity control and the fastest recovery times, Super Dry cabinets are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, all with certified performance control measures.

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.
