For the first time ever, the power conversion industry now has a standard — IPC-9592, Requirements for Power Conversion Devices for the Computer and Telecommunications Industries.

After two years of development, this new, comprehensive specification has been released by an IPC subcommittee comprising some of the leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and power conversion manufacturers.

There is a lot that’s covered in this 75+ page specification that will have a dramatic and positive impact on the entire power conversion supply chain. That’s why IPC is holding this unique one-day event. Get your free copy of this important document that is included with your registration.

Conference Topics

Sessions will be presented by the volunteer standards development committee members who contributed to the document’s individual sections. Companies participating in the program include IBM, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems, Alcatel-Lucent, Lineage Power and Murata Power Solutions.

Conference topics/chapters cover a complete range of power conversion product attributes including: Product Specifications and Document Requirements; Design for Reliability; Design and Qualification Testing and Manufacturing Conformance Testing.

Committee members will describe not only the items, requirements and issues confronted and resolved in the development of the standard, but also the background and logic used to craft each chapter.

Why You Should Attend

This is the industry’s first standard for power conversion. Due to the support of the major companies who have developed the standard, the industry should anticipate widespread usage. As a result, power conversion manufacturers, both from management and engineering, should attend this conference to learn about customer requirements.

Suppliers to the power conversion industry — component manufacturers, PCB manufacturers, electronics manufacturing services companies as well as other industry suppliers — should attend the conference to understand their products’ relationship to the standard.

Finally, OEMs who employ power conversion devices in their products should attend this conference to learn how the standard can help improve the quality, reliability and time to market of their products.
