CLINTON, NY — Indium Corporation’s Global Head of e-Mobility and Infrastructure, Brian O’Leary, will co-chair a special panel discussion on e-Mobility on Thursday, January 26 from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. local time at IPC APEX Expo in San Diego, Calif., US.

Climate change, government policy, and consumers are rapidly driving the automotive industry towards an electrified future. The printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) manufacturing industry has a vital role to play in this transition. From longer mission profiles to higher voltages, PCBAs are required to work longer, harder, and at higher operating temperatures.

The special session, one of the first of its kind, will bring together key stakeholders from across the e-Mobility industry, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), their supply chain regulators, policy, and technology experts. It will consist of two parts, the first of which will address problems and challenges facing the industry. The second part will address solutions to those problems. Audience participation is highly encouraged.

Registration for the special session is included in the All Access or Full Technical Conference packages or can also be added as a Technical Conference Single Session Pass.

O'Leary is responsible for promoting Indium Corporation's full range of products and services for e- Mobility, which includes electric cars, trucks, eVTOLs, charging stations, etc. He joined Indium Corporation in 2014 and has more than 20 years of experience in the electronics industry. He authored two books on thermal profiling called Profiling Guide for Profitability and Profiling Guide for Six Sigma. He currently serves as the chair of the IPC e-Mobility Quality & Reliability Advisory Council. In addition to regular technical conference participation, he co-hosts a free monthly webcast—EV InSIDER Live—with Loren McDonald of EVAdoption and a high-profile industry stakeholder as a guest. In the webcast, they discuss current pressing issues and hot topics in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle landscape.
