Why Laser Soldering Gets So Much Attention

10/28/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 Magazine
Production soldering techniques that persist on the shop floor each have their own unique advantages. For complete board assemblies with standard joints and built-in volume, convection reflow is a perennial choice. For through-hole joints, the solution is wave soldering. A relatively small number of solder joints may justify robotic or human hand soldering, but another soldering technique that seems to be gaining prominence is laser soldering.

Breaking Down the Barriers Between Design and Manufacturing in France

10/15/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007 Magazine
The IPC Designers Council France has nearly doubled since I-Connect007 last reached out to Thomas Romont, a manager at WWEC who leads the council. But growth is only part of the story. Through working groups, practical design tools, and an annual conference, the council is creating opportunities for designers, engineers, fabricators, EMS providers, and other stakeholders to solve problems together. Thomas explains how the group is addressing gaps in design guidance, improving communication between design and manufacturing, and encouraging the kind of collaboration increasingly required across the electronics industry.

Your account is the whole organization, which contains people with different responsibilities, pressures, priorities, and definitions of value. Professional salespeople understand that winning an account means building credibility throughout that organization.

It’s Only Common Sense: Be the Vendor They Compare Everyone Else To

05/25/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
Most companies are simply vendors. They take orders and ship product. They answer emails when they feel the heat. They hit the date they promised and expect applause. Standards are different. These are the companies customers use as the measuring stick. Every new supplier gets compared to them, every quote gets weighed against them, and every service failure from someone else becomes a moment when the customer says, “This would not have happened with you.”

How Are You Vetting Your Supply Chain?

04/28/2026 | Didrik Bech, CONFIDEE
For many years, supplier management was largely focused on standard commercial priorities: cost, quality, lead time, and delivery performance. If a supplier met specifications, shipped on time, and remained price competitive, the relationship was often considered healthy. However, the world has changed.
