American Made Advocacy: PCBAA’s Fifth Annual Meeting—Growing Membership and Valuable Relationships

07/21/2026 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made Advocacy
The Printed Circuit Board Association of America recently celebrated its fifth anniversary. We began with five member companies that banded together to influence legislation favorable to our industry. Today, we have 90 members across the entire ecosystem: OEMs, fabricators, assemblers, materials providers, testing companies, and applied AI startups. Our membership ranges from companies with long histories to ventures just embarking on their PCB journeys.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... UV Curable Conformal Coatings, Chapter 3

06/30/2026 | Brian J. Chislea and Cody Schoener, PhD, Dow, Inc.
Qualifying conformal coatings ensures electronic assemblies remain reliable, safe, and durable in harsh environments. Standards such as IPC-CC-830, MIL, IEC, and UL verify performance. Unqualified coatings risk failure, electrical breakdown, recalls, and safety hazards. Rigorous qualification protects product integrity, customer safety, and brand reputation.

EIPC Summer Conference 2026: AI, Robots, and Historic Vilnius, Lithuania

06/15/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
Historic downtown Vilnius, Lithuania, hosted the sold-out EIPC Summer Conference, June 9–10, where 175 participants gathered at the AC Hotel, including representatives from the Global Electronics Association, FED, and four other industry associations. This year also included representation from 14 European PCB companies, and one—TTM— from the U.S., something that hasn’t happened for quite some time.

Three Reasons Manufacturers Are Turning to UV Curable Conformal Coatings

06/11/2026 | I-Connect007
Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to improve reliability while reducing production costs, energy use, and environmental impact. For companies that rely on conformal coatings to protect electronic assemblies from moisture, dust, chemicals, and other environmental hazards, UV-curable technologies are a compelling alternative to traditional coating processes.

Beyond Design: How Signals Survive the Hostile PCB Environment

06/03/2026 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond Design
Modern digital signals exhibit behavior more characteristic of RF waveforms than the slow logic transitions of the past. With fast rise times, a PCB is no longer a collection of copper traces, but a distributed electromagnetic system. Successful design isn’t about routing signals anymore; it’s about engineering transmission lines, preserving uninterrupted return‑current paths, and controlling the resonant structures that naturally form within the multilayer PCB.
