Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

France is evocative of many things, amongst them some classics: their cuisine, their architecture, their music. In the latter category, who has not heard the timeless “Songs from the Auvergne” by Joseph Canteloube. Who has not been to Lyon in the Auvergne Region?
If you wish to be part of another classic event, then please consider joining the EIPC Winter Conference which is to be held over two days, Feb 9-10, 2023, the first in the famous Groupama Football Stadium in Lyon, wherein The Kopster Hotel will be our overnight stay venue; the second will be at the Bugey Nuclear Power Plant. In the evening of the first day, we shall be dining, rather well, downtown Lyon centre.
The conference will have papers from Custer Consulting, EnergyVille, Ericsson, LiloTree, Trackwise, DP Patterning, Doosan, KLA, ASS Luippold, Dyconex, Suss MicroTec, Showa Denko, NanYa, and others. We will also be having a roundtable for environmental matters e.g., REACH SVHC solder mask restrictions, involving companies such as Agfa, Electra Polymers, Notion Systems, SUSS MicroTec, Taiyo, and Parachem.
In announcing this now we are mindful of the need to complete our registration by Jan. 6, as we are restricted to only 96 delegates for the visit to the Bugey Nuclear Power Plant. Please come and join us at what will be another memorable EIPC Conference, and Lyon in the winter is sublime. As for the gastronomy, we will find out.
Deadline for registration for the power plant visit: January 3, 2023.
Maximum number of visitors to the power plant: 96

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
