EMS@C-LEVEL · 1 Apr 2025 · 9m

What this episode covers

Richard Cappetto, Senior Director of North American Government Relations at IPC, discusses the electronics industry's struggle for policy stability amidst aggressive US trade tariffs and regulatory uncertainty. He explains how IPC is advocating against tariffs on critical materials like copper and coordinating with global counterparts to mitigate supply chain disruptions caused by shifting trade policies. Cappetto highlights the complexity of the current landscape, noting that while the administration aims for a manufacturing renaissance, tools like reciprocal tariffs risk undermining domestic production by destabilizing established global networks.

    Inside PCBAA's Fight for American Circuit Board Manufacturing

    David Schild, Executive Director of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA), discusses the organization's advocacy for H.R. 3597, the Protecting Circuit Boards and Substrates Act, to secure tax incentives for domestic PCB manufacturing. He highlights the critical workforce shortage, the decline of US PCB production from 30% to 4% of global output, and the strategic importance of supply chain resilience for defense OEMs like RTX (Raytheon) and commercial sectors. Schild explains how PCBAA is educating lawmakers and leveraging partnerships with states like Arizona and New York to reverse the offshoring trend driven by foreign government subsidies.

    Why Reshoring Electronics to the US is Harder Than You Think

    Sean Kincaid, President of K & F Electronics, explains why reshoring US electronics manufacturing is hindered by a lack of domestic materials like copper foil and production equipment, noting that subsidizing IC fabrication alone does not solve the issue of boards being made in China. He details how K & F Electronics was forced to close its circuit board manufacturing division in 2021 due to inability to compete with low-cost overseas prototypes, pivoting instead to PCBA and acting as a third-party auditor for overseas boards. Kincaid highlights specific quality defects found in overseas manufacturing, such as flying probe damage causing shorts, and argues that true reshoring requires a complete ecosystem including materials, equipment, and subsidies to counter foreign state support.
