Current IssueCreating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.
Designing Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

IPC Issues Call for Participation for High-Reliability Cleaning and Conformal Coating Conference
April 21, 2020 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute

IPC invites experts in all areas of cleaning and coating for electronic assemblies to submit technical conference abstracts for the High-Reliability Cleaning and Conformal Coating Conference, presented by IPC and SMTA, to be held November 3-5, 2020 in Dallas, Texas.
The goal of this conference is to enable electronics assemblers to address cleaning and coating issues by showcasing industry knowledge covering technological developments in strategies to achieve surface reliability. This conference features technical presentations, tutorials, tabletop exhibits and networking events. Professional development courses will take place on November 3, and the technical conference will take place November 4–5.
Expert technical presentations are being sought in the following areas:
- Electrical Performance and Reliability
- Cleaning Process Design
- Maintaining and Monitoring the Cleaning Process
- Material Choices and Compatibility
- Conformal Coatings
- Supply Chain Management
An approximate 300-word technical conference abstract summarizing original and previously unpublished work covering case histories, research and discoveries must be submitted. The abstract should be technical in nature and must clearly state the topical content and benefits to the participants. Programs and presentations must be non-commercial, original work. Abstracts should include a title and short description of at least 30 words.
Abstracts can be sent to Brook Sandy-Smith, IPC technical conference program manager, at BrookSandy@ipc.org.
To sponsor or exhibit at this event, contact Alicia Balonek, IPC senior director of tradeshows & events, at AliciaBalonek@ipc.org.

Smart Automation: AI—Revolutionizing Inspection in Electronics Manufacturing
05/27/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationArtificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a staple in our personal and professional lives. In electronics manufacturing, integrating AI to combat common inefficiencies and to contextualize data will open new doors into how we supplement our traditional processes. In some specific areas of the electronics manufacturing process, integration of AI on the factory floor is already having a tremendous effect. One such area is PCBA inspection, particularly 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.
