SMTA Launches New Knowledge Base Platform
February 11, 2026 | SMTAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
In December 2025, the SMTA launched a new platform for its Knowledge Base, where members can search and access over 6000 published technical papers and on-demand webinars. This update makes SMTA research easier to find and cite across the broader electronics manufacturing community.
One of the benefits of the new system is the improved visibility in search engines as well as scholarly indexes. Authors are now directly connected to published work and can be searched with a single click. New filters are available to narrow down a search by a range of years or publication type. Citation options can now be displayed for an article in any modern format required.
While anyone can now create a profile to save searches and get notified when new content is published, still only active SMTA members can access downloadable papers and presentation files.

04/13/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It was a beautiful 81°F morning in Arizona last Wednesday as I headed to the third annual SMTA Ultra HDI Symposium, focused on AI and ultra high density interconnect technology. Strategically held as part of Arizona’s Tech Week, this year’s conference took place in Avondale in Phoenix's West Valley. The event moved from the cozy offices of the Peoria Sports Complex (which paid homage to baseball’s spring training world) to the larger Avondale Conference Center, highlighting the importance of this area for electronics manufacturing investment.
