The Hidden Story of PCB Failures — Lessons from the Lab

#pcbtesting #failureanalysis #pcbfabrication Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the foundation of modern electronics—and even a single undetected defect can lead to costly failures, program delays, or safety risks. In this on-demand webinar, Element experts reveal the hidden story behind PCB failures, sharing practical methods to uncover, understand, and prevent them before they derail your program. You’ll gain real-world insights from our labs on how to improve design quality, reduce rework, and ensure reliability in mission-critical electronics. What You’ll Learn: • The most common PCB failure modes and how they appear in the field • Visual inspection & Destructive Physical Analysis (DPA) techniques that expose hidden defects • Bare board vs. assembled board failure prevention strategies • Environmental and electrical stress tests that catch latent defects early • How to translate test results into corrective actions that strengthen design and process control Who Should Watch: Industrial OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and electronics manufacturers involved in design, quality, reliability, compliance, or procurement—especially in aerospace, defense, medical, and EV sectors. Meet the Speakers: Russell Shepard — Technical Director of Electronics, Element Materials Technology Decades of experience in PCB manufacturing, compliance, and reliability testing; active in IPC standards and training initiatives. William “Bill” Graver — Business Development Manager & IPC Master Trainer, Element Materials Technology Veteran PCB/PCBA expert and Master IPC Trainer specializing in failure analysis and mission-critical reliability programs.
