Electronics Live is shaping up to be THE one-day electronics event of the year. Launching at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham on 17th January 2024, the show for the whole electronics supply chain will co-locate with Instrumentation Live – a showcase of the latest technology in the fields of test, measurement and control. This means that visitors can look forward to seeing more than 120 manufacturers, authorised distributors and solution providers under one roof! Not only that but the free-to-attend events will also feature seminars on the latest trends and developments in electronics and instrumentation.
Electronics Live will feature three educational and informative seminars, which are presented by industry experts and free to attend. The theatre will also host highly relevant seminars from our co-located event Instrumentation Live.
Visitors to Electronics Live can look forward to the following presentations:
11:00-11:30: Extending the life of semiconductor components
Paul Green, director – sales, Northern Europe & MEA, Rochester Electronics, will cover the considerations to have at the initial design in stage, the precautions that can be taken throughout the product’s life, being prepared for obsolescence and to minimise the risk of it, with examples to understanding the market. Paul says: “As the world’s leading company in this field, I will be delighted to share the knowledge that Rochester Electronics has built up over the years and the factors involved in this important topic that could help.”
13:00 -13:30: What’s happened and now likely to happen in the UK and wider electronic components markets
ecsn chairman Adam Fletcher will provide a quick summary of the association’s members thoughts on the electronic components markets as we move into 2024. After a few years of stronger than anticipated growth the outlook for 2024 is much less certain, with a wide range of ‘headwinds’ likely to impact all organisations right across the electronic components supply network.
14:20-14:50: Attack of the Clones: Five ways to spot – and avoid – counterfeit electronic parts
Ian Walker, operations director at Princeps – an accredited specialist distributor of traceable electronic, electrical & e-mech components, will outline five key techniques his expert team use to identify suspect and counterfeit electronic components in the supply chain – including comparison of dimensions and markings, x-ray inspection and decapsulation. Ian will draw on the deep expertise and experience of Princeps’ quality and inspection team, explaining how they recently employed a combination of techniques to positively identify a (very good) clone part – and remove it from the supply chain.
