IPC New Release: TECHTR-14
Based on data from 158 PCB fabricators and assembly companies worldwide, this report presents data on the current state (2014) and the
industry’s predictions for the data by 2019, collected for the 2015 IPC Technology Roadmap. The data are segmented by five applications: computer and telecommunications, consumer electronics, industrial and automotive, medical, and military and aerospace.
Topics covered include clock speed, heat dissipation, operation cycles, environmental operating range, product life expectancy, lamination cycles, materials, board area, board thickness, layer count, embedded components, printed-in-place features, line width
and spacing, via diameters, aspect ratios, surface-mount lands, I/O pitch, test density, recyclable content and component size, as well as numbers of vias, solder joints, and discrete, area array, peripheral leaded, peripheral leadless and through-hole components.
Additional data that is not segmented by application covers voltage levels and optical channels.

IPC New Release: LEADFREE-15
Issues
and Outlook for Lead-Free Electronics in Military & Aerospace Applications
Based on data from 83 manufacturers supplying electronics to the military and aerospace market, this study covers the current use of
lead-free materials and components in mil/aero electronics. It examines how manufacturers required to use lead in their assemblies are coping with the trend toward lead-free electronics, including the use of reballing. It assesses the added costs of producing
leaded assemblies and identifies the tipping points that are expected to move military electronics toward lead free. The report includes historical data on the ratio of lead-free to tin/lead solder consumption and a 10-year forecast.

IPC New Release: LABORPOOL-15
IPC
Study of the North American Labor Pool for Electronics Manufacturing
Based on data from 107 U.S. and Canadian electronics manufacturers and extensive secondary research, this report assesses
the apparent shortage of qualified labor for electronics manufacturing. The data cover the causes of today’s recruitment challenges, including public perceptions of the industry, dynamics of supply and demand growth, job candidate expectations, and supplier
constraints. The current gaps in the labor pool are assessed by region and industry segment, as well as the issues impeding the recruitment of production workers and professionals, the industry’s training needs and its image. An assessment of strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats in the current environment provides insight into strategies to address the current recruitment and training challenges. Recommendations and resources that can help manufacturers overcome the obstacles, such as sources of training
grants and an assessment of recruitment channels, are included in the report.
