ECIA Companies – Request for Participation in EIA Standards

EIA Standards Updates

ECIA maintains over 200 American National Standards for passive electronic components and technologies related to them through EIA Standards Committees. These standards form a common language that clearly identifies the specifications to which components are manufactured, tested and perform. Many ECIA manufacturer members participate in the ECIA Standards program, but we are specifically looking for people with expertise from the distribution side on how these components are stored and used to give additional insight in the General Interest category. All work is conducted remotely through the ECIA Workspace and web conferencing, with optional travel to 2-3 in-person meetings per year.

Please contact Ed Mikoski or Laura Donohoe if you have any questions or if you wish to participate.
