OKI to Exhibit High-Reliability PCBs for Aerospace, Defense, and Telecommunications at PCB West 2024 in USA
October 8, 2024 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
OKI announced that the OKI Group’s printed circuit board (PCB) company OKI Circuit Technology will participate in the PCB West 2024 Conference & Exhibition (PCB West), scheduled to take place from October 8 to 11 in Silicon Valley, USA. OTC will approach this event with the goal of expanding its customer base and sales in overseas markets, particularly in the United States.
In addition to obtaining certifications for all seven schedules of the JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) standards related to PCBs, OTC has established a solid track record for durable and reliable products suitable for use in space, a harsh environment in which failure is not an option. At this year’s event, OTC will exhibit large, highly reliable multilayer PCBs developed for use in aerospace, defense, and telecommunications equipment.
PCB West, a conference and exhibition with a focus on PCBs, has been held for more than 30 years. Each year, more than 100 companies active in fields like PCB manufacturing, design, implementation, software, materials, inspection tools, and distribution participate in the four-day technical conference and one-day exhibition. The event is attended by over 2,000 professionals, including designers, engineers, and manufacturers from a wide range of companies active in electronics, among them companies involved in making cutting-edge IoT and wearable devices and aerospace and defense equipment—applications in which reliability is essential.
In its Medium-Term Business Plan 2025, OKI has positioned the aerospace markets as a key focal point for its EMS business. Drawing on its expertise in producing space-grade quality, including core components like PCBs, the company plans to maintain its pursuit of technological development and sales efforts within the global aerospace markets.

Global Sourcing Spotlight: The New Landscape of Manufacturing
02/11/2026 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightFor decades, manufacturing followed a familiar pattern: design in the West, production in China, and distribution elsewhere. That map no longer works. The shocks of the past five years—the pandemic shutdowns, trade wars, logistics meltdowns, and geopolitical uncertainty—have redrawn the boundaries of global manufacturing. The question every OEM is asking isn’t “How cheap can we make it”? but “How certain are we that we can obtain it?” We are witnessing a seismic shift in the landscape of making things. The work hasn’t disappeared; it’s just moving.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
02/06/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Here’s the thing about time travel. You can’t just manipulate the time dimension; you have to move in three-dimensional space as well. That’s because Earth orbits a star, which orbits a galaxy, which is on its own path through three-dimensional space. Our planet follows a complex corkscrew-like path through the universe, covering great distances in just seconds. Build a time machine like HG Wells envisioned, and even a short jump in time means that Earth has moved, and you’re now floating in the void of space. Unsettling, to be sure.
