IPC Training on PCB Troubleshooting and Defect Analysis 2023
December 8, 2022 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
IPC will be holding a training course on printed circuit board (PCB) troubleshooting and defect analysis from April 3–26, 2023. Scheduled Mondays and Wednesdays, from 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. (Central), the IPC Advanced Troubleshooting and Defect Analysis course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify PCB defects and determine corrective action.
Taught by an IPC-certified industry expert with more than 40 years of experience in the field, this four-week online program is designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to identify printed circuit board defects and determine corrective action.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Identify and correct control processes that negatively affect circuit board quality
- Establish the root cause of potential defects to minimize and prevent loss of quality
- Recognize the interrelationships of PCB materials, processes, and equipment and how these relationships affect PCB and PCA quality
- Identify the root cause and corrective action for PCB defects such as interconnect separation, delamination, wedge voids, plating folds, microvoids, surface pitting, and hole wall pull-away
- Identify the root cause and corrective action for electrodeposition defects, such as mouse bites, pitting, and domed or crown plating.
- Identify the root cause and corrective action for solderability and assembly-related issues such as outgassing, black pad, creep corrosion and blow holes
This program utilizes interactive webinars, on-demand recordings, and job-specific exercises to facilitate mastery of the key concepts required for successfully printed circuit board troubleshooting and defect analysis.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
02/21/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007When I first started covering trade shows for I-Connect007 about six years ago, my calendar would see me attending shows 13 of the 23 weeks over the winter. Much has changed since the pandemic, and I bring this up because my picks for the week reflect on that. Which makes sense, because we’re already launched into a new and important trade show season. From Brittany Martin’s invaluable tips for making the most of your marketing efforts, to SMTA’s new scholarship, there’s a lot of information to be had. I hope you read it the first time around, but if not, it’s worth checking out. Share it with your colleagues. Let’s get this news out there.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of this iconic show for the electronics industry and, in addition to all the usual suspects, there are some special things in store to celebrate this milestone. Last year, IPC themed the event, “What’s Next is Now.” This year’s theme, “Reimagine the Possibilities,” feels like a wholly appropriate follow-on.

One World, One Industry: Mapping the Future of the Electronics Workforce
02/21/2025 | John Mitchell -- Column: One World, One IndustryWhen we think of everything that impacts the world economy, I can’t help but think of electronics. They impact everything. As you have heard me say over the past few years, electronics is no longer a vertical, it’s a horizontal. As practically every industry sector relies on natural resources like water and fossil fuels, they also rely on a manmade resource—electronics. From agriculture to automotive and AI to aerospace, I can’t think of any industry that does not rely heavily upon electronics as it maps out the future.
