June 18, 2024 | STI ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
IPC's Validation Services Program announces that STI Electronics, Inc., a multifaceted technical organization supporting the electronics manufacturing industry, has been requalified, at the Class 3 level, to IPC J-STD-001, IPC-A-610, and IPC J-STD-001 Space & Military Addendum Qualified Manufacturers Listings (QML). During the same requalification process, STI was also requalified as an IPC-1791, Trusted Electronic Designer, Fabricator and Assembler Requirements Qualified Manufacturers Listing (QML) Type 3 Assembler.
Commenting on STI Electronics, Inc.’s QML requalification, David Raby, president and CEO, said, “STI Electronics, Inc. unlocks the future with IPC QMLs, where rigorous standards meet innovation. Quality, reliability, and efficiency coverage propel us towards excellence in electronic manufacturing.” He continued, “We extend our deepest appreciation to IPC and Randy Cherry for their unwavering dedication to advancing the electronics industry. Their commitment to fostering standards, innovation, and collaboration continues to shape a brighter future for all.”
STI Electronics, Inc. achieved its initial IPC Validation Services QML recognition status over six years ago. With its requalification, it maintains its QML status as an IPC trusted source capable of manufacturing by industry best practices and at the highest level of quality.
IPC's Validations Services QPL/QML Program was developed to promote supply chain verification. It also provides auditing and qualification of electronics companies' products and identifies processes that conform to IPC standards.
"Unlike other audit programs, IPC's Validation Services Programs uniquely provides technical and in-depth assessments of products and processes per IPC standards," said Randy Cherry, IPC director of Validation Services. "We are pleased to recognize STI Electronics, Inc. for continuing to be a member of IPC's network of trusted QML suppliers for three of IPC’s foremost standards."

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
