What are you paying the most attention to as we enter 2025? Find out what we learned when we asked that question. Join us as we explore five main themes in the new year.
Soldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The 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?

Interlatin to Launch the First Step Stencil in Mexico
January 9, 2017 | InterlatinEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Interlatin will officially launch the first step stencil in Mexico—the VIPER Step Stencil—on January 12, 2017 during an open house event in its headquarters, in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The improvement in the delivery time is the greatest benefit for the electronic manufacturing industry in Mexico. Normally, a step stencil is delivered to the customers in three to four weeks, but now with VIPER, the customers will have to wait only two days for its delivery countrywide. It is estimated that the demand for step stencils in Mexico is from 1,000 to 1,500 stencils a year, which represents a market with an approximate value of $1.5 million.
It is important to mention that the VIPER Step Stencil is environment friendly, thanks to its Laser Weld production process, which does not use any chemicals unlike the most step stencils manufacturers outside Mexico do.
For its customers’ best convenience, Interlatin will manufacture two types of VIPER Step Stencil: the VIPER and the VIPER-C. The VIPER-C is a normal VIPER step stencil on which the Cobra technology (IDtech – Intelligent Deposition Technology) is integrated. Cobra is not a nano stencil and improves the manufactures productivity thanks to the permanent treatment of its surface.
Once again, Interlatin proves to be a pioneer in Mexico by being the first company to offer step stencils, which represents an investment of $1 million from Interlatin.

Happy’s Tech Talk #36: The LEGO Principle of Optical Assembly
01/14/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkDr. Steven Case of Avanti Optics Corporation once advocated a new approach to photonic assembly, based on the LEGO principle. He compared today’s erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) technology to the crude point-to-point wiring of early model circuit boards, which gave way to modern circuit boards that could be considered prefabricated interconnects.
