Streamlining Bills of Materials (BOM) with End-of-Life Alerts, Product Change Notifications and Obsolescence Management

Picture a flexible circuit board (FPCB) and you will almost inevitably visualise a sheet of orange/brown plastic, probably with a few copper traces and maybe some soldered components on it. This plastic is PI (polyimide/Kapton), and its ubiquity is primarily due to its temperature resistance and general durability. Indeed, it is so durable and insensitive to temperature that PI is routinely used in laboratory ovens, cryostats, and (when laminated with aluminium) wrapped around satellites.

“The goal of the IPC 2-12c Cybersecurity Protection Standard Task Group is to develop a new industry standard to provide a system to reduce the manufacturing supply-chain cybersecurity risks. We are pleased to have Didrik Bech and his experience within cybersecurity onboard as Vice Chair,” says Chris Jorgensen, Director Technology Transfer at IPC.
