Current IssueVoices 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.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

TestEquity Demos Innovative Test and Measurement Solutions at IPC APEX EXPO 2016
March 16, 2016 | MarketwiredEstimated reading time: 1 minute
TestEquity is showcasing a comprehensive offering of new and enhanced electronics manufacturing, testing, servicing and environmental chamber solutions at the IPC APEX EXPO 2016 event happening this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Attendees, from electronic manufacturers to engineers to repair representatives, will see demonstrations from leading manufacturers such as Weller, Hakko, Indium, Vision Engineering, Keysight and Tektronix. TestEquity environmental chambers, including the model 107 benchtop temperature chamber, will also be on display.
Products and services highlighted at this year's APEX EXPO include:
- Weller WX2021 is a powerful digital soldering solution designed for easy use through a highly responsive and intuitive touchscreen. This dual-port simultaneous station, also available as a single-port option, features a variety of connectivity options, intelligent soldering tools and new features.
- Hakko FX-100 offers next-generation heat induction soldering in a compact, easy-to-operate station. Microprocessor control boosts the recovery performance of the soldering iron tip while advanced system design optimizes performance by reducing system power loss while maintaining the lowest EMI levels. Just plug it in and turn it on; no calibration is required.
- Indium solder paste is cored with a high reliability flux, compatible with Indium's full line of Pb-Free and Sn/Pb soldering materials and provides excellent solder spread with minimal smoking and low odor.
Booth visitors will also see a new EVO camera from Vision Engineering.
TestEquity 107 benchtop temperature chamber is small enough to fit on a bench with plenty of room to spare. Smaller and using 33% less power than the standard benchtop set up, the TE107 plugs into any outlet, fits into a 19 inch rack, and features low audible noise -- ideal for use in confined spaces.
Keysight MSOX3104T a four-channel mixed-signal oscilloscope, puts measurement insight at users' fingertips. With simplified triggering, touchscreen, excellent signal integrity and integrated analysis capabilities, this scope provides the performance and functionality needed to isolate signals in seconds.
TestEquity offers its own Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) solution. The simple to use, simple to roll out CSIM (Custom Solution for Inventory Management) program from TestEquity gives users inventory control without the cost or time required to implement other systems on the market. In addition to comprehensive inventory control, users can quickly and easily track and monitor carrying costs and usage trends while personalized reports allow data review in real time.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
