The Knowledge Base: A Conference for Cleaning and Coating of Mission-critical Electronics
07/08/2025 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseIn electronics manufacturing, there’s a dangerous misconception that cleaning and coating are standalone options, that they operate in different lanes, and that one can compensate for the other. Let’s clear that up now. Cleaning and conformal coating are not separate decisions. They are two chapters in the same story—the story of reliability.

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.
Marcy's Musings: The Hole Truth—Via Integrity in an HDI World
06/17/2025 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsThis month, we’re talking about “the hole truth,” namely, via reliability in an HDI world. As I contemplated what it takes to get the “perfect” via, it got me thinking about what it takes to create the “perfect” magazine issue.
