Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Elma Electronic Bolsters Quality Management Company-wide with Added AS9100:D and ISO9001:2015 Certifications
June 2, 2025 | Elma ElectronicEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Elma Electronic now includes AS9100:D and ISO 9001:2015 certifications at its Horsham, Pa. manufacturing facility, earning the company a multiple site accreditation designation. This certification of the company’s Northeastern US facility covers the comprehensive design, development, assembly, sale and service of Elma’s range of rugged, integrated solutions for real-time and embedded computer systems.
Carmen Theumer, director of quality, said, “Elma’s original AS9100 certification at the Fremont, Ca. headquarters set the example for our other global locations. We have consistently upheld the same level of quality assurance across our organization, and this newest certification of the Horsham facility is a testament of that inherent company value.”
Developed specifically for quality management within the aviation, space and defense industries, AS9100 addresses aerospace regulatory, safety and reliability requirements for any aerospace organization, from design and manufacturing to maintenance and distributors. Adopted in 2016 and the most recent revision to the certification, AS9100:D is aligned with ISO 9001:2015 and focuses even more in-depth on product safety, risk awareness and configuration management.
Intertek, the issuing organization, is globally recognized as one of the first accredited registrars for AS9100. Accredited under the Aerospace Registrar Management Program and IAQG ICOT scheme, the company provides total quality assurance services through its comprehensive testing, inspection and certification process.
