What makes a printed circuit board truly reliable?
Reliable PCB quality starts long before production begins. It depends on selecting the right technology, establishing robust manufacturing processes, and partnering with qualified suppliers.
In this episode of Electronics unplugged – The PCB video podcast by Würth Elektronik, host Markus Friesen talks with Manuel Mairhofer, Director of Asia Production at Würth Elektronik, about a topic that continues to shape the electronics industry:
Quality from Asia: reliable or risky?
Together, they discuss how to build resilient PCB supply chains, ensure consistent quality across global manufacturing networks, and make informed sourcing decisions.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How PCB manufacturing partners are selected, audited, and qualified
- Why PCB quality depends on processes rather than manufacturing location
- Which advanced PCB technologies are available from manufacturers in Asia
- How transparency and technical expertise reduce supply chain risks
Best practices for sourcing printed circuit boards from Asia
Whether you're a PCB designer, electronics engineer, purchaser, supply chain manager, or OEM, this episode provides practical insights into today's global PCB manufacturing landscape.
