The automotive industry has ushered in a wave of electronics, IPC helps the automotive electronics industry to improve high reliability

June 12, 2018, Shanghai, China — Today, the automotive industry is developing in the direction of intelligence and electrification. With the maturity of IoV technology, smart cars, unmanned vehicles, and new energy vehicles have become popular concepts, and the automotive industry has ushered in a wave of electronics. IPC—International Electronics Industry Connection Association® held the IPC WorksAsia and Automotive Electronics High Reliability Conference at the Sheraton Shanghai Jiading Hotel on June 12th, and joined hands with leading electronics manufacturing companies and experts from automotive companies to discuss and discuss automotive electronics design and manufacturing Problems, status quo and industry trends. During the meeting, Dr. John W. Mitchell, President and CEO of IPC, gave an in-depth discussion on the development of today's automotive electronics industry and how IPC can help automotive electronics companies improve high reliability.

In recent years, with the wave of intelligent and electrified vehicles, the development speed and market scale of automotive electronics have been unique. As an integral part of automotive components, PCB will also usher in new growth opportunities. At the same time, because automotive electronic components have long-term operation in a working environment with large temperature differences and bumps, which is related to people's lives and safety, higher reliability requirements are inevitably required for automotive electronics manufacturing.

As an international industry organization in the electronics industry, IPC meets the needs of all sectors of the electronics industry industry chain by providing industry standards, training certification, market research, exhibition meetings and environmental protection, and carrying out various types of industrial projects to help Chinese companies learn. 2. Import international standards, simplify processes, reduce costs, enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, and help them succeed.

Dr. John W. Mitchell said: "We hope that through the development of standards, we will help customers in the automotive electronics industry to solve the problems of poor product consistency, high cost and quality defects caused by the lack of unified specifications. Automotive electronics is essentially electronic manufacturing technology in the automotive For special applications in the industry, the standard addresses the special needs in the automotive industry. "

Standard development has always been an important core service provided by IPC to its members. In the field of automotive electronics, IPC released the first automotive version of the rigid board performance requirements standard IPC-6012DA "Appendix for Rigid Printed Board Identification and Performance Specifications for Automotive Applications" in 2016. This standard regulates the requirements of rigid printed boards in the automotive industry. Reliability under vibration and thermal cycling application environmental conditions. IPC-6012DA unifies the needs of suppliers and customers in the automotive industry into one standard, which also marks an important step in the development of standards in complex applications.

At present, IPC is also developing a new standard for crimping pin performance and specifications for electronic companies with high reliability requirements such as automobiles and aerospace. This standard will be the second standard developed by IPC specifically for the fast-growing automotive electronics, and also developed according to the special requirements of the European automotive electronics industry, indicating that European companies are integrating into the IPC standards organization, which will accelerate the internationalization of IPC standards process.

In addition, IPC also shared the latest cutting-edge technologies, application cases and best practices and solutions by holding high-end technology special conferences, IPC China manual welding & rework and repair workshops, and CSR corporate social responsibility special conferences, etc. To jointly promote the development of the automotive electronics industry.

After more than 60 years of development, IPC has become a leader organization that leads the development of the global electronics manufacturing industry. At present, IPC members are all major brand manufacturers and their upstream suppliers, including Bosch, Continental, Toyota, General Motors, Ford, etc. In the future, IPC will gradually develop special requirements standards for various segments of the global electronics industry. Through advanced industry standards, technical training and practical guidance, they will help them further improve their technical level and achieve business growth, and expand the development of standards to more In complex applications.
