U.S. Electronic Component Shipments to Reach $95.5 Billion in 2022
May 1, 2018 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
U.S. shipments of electronic components are forecast to reach $95.5 billion in 2022, according to Electronic Components: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Increasing global output of products that utilize electronic components will drive gains, as the supply chains for many of these industries are highly globalized.
In addition, the expanding scope of products in which electronic components are used will support growth. For instance, motor vehicles are increasingly employing electronic components as vehicle electronic systems become more sophisticated and advanced drivetrain components become more widespread. Common motor vehicle features all employ electronic components, including airbags, mirror and wiper controls, and power doors and windows.
In addition, the growing production of hybrid- and all-electric vehicles, which contain advanced electronic content, aids electronic component sales. The increasing prevalence of advanced driver assistant systems – including adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, back-up cameras, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and parking assistance – will also support demand for electronic components in the automotive industry.

The Death of the Microsection
06/26/2025 | Bob Neves, Reliability Assessment Solutions, Inc.I got my start out of college grinding and polishing PCB microsections. My thumbs are a bit arthritic today because of the experience (microsection grinders know what I mean). Back then, via structures were rather large, and getting to the center in six steps of grinding and polishing was easy compared to what my team has been doing recently at the lab.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
