IPC’s efforts in government relations and advocacy have been pivotal in getting legislation like the CHIPS Act passed. IPC has coined the phrase “silicon to systems” to highlight that things like chips can only function within a complete electronics system, which depends on a much broader electronics supply chain than just semiconductors. They continue to work ardently to make sure our industry’s voices are heard.
In February, IPC President and CEO Dr. John W. Mitchell was back in Washington, D.C., representing our industry in a meeting convened by the U.S. Department of Commerce, where he discussed workforce issues and how to ensure that our businesses have the workforce they need. In this audio interview, he reviews his concerns and solutions on workforce development.

Has the Time Finally Come for Tin-nickel Plating?
12/09/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn the 1980s, Electrochemicals, Inc. (now Electrochemical Products) made a significant shift from furniture and industrial goods to electronics and manufacturing. During this journey, a tin-nickel plating alloy was developed. In 1984, Mike Carano, a young engineer, published a paper on tin-nickel plating alloy, but after some initial attention, the plating solution fell into obscurity. Today, PCB fabrication looks largely the same, yet changes are afoot, chiefly due to the demands for very fine feature capability on printed circuit boards, as well as environmental sustainability. So, in this fascinating conversation with Mike Carano and Happy Holden, we take another look at tin-nickel and its advantages in both performance and sustainability.
