Nortech Systems Incorporated, a leading provider of engineering and manufacturing solutions for the aerospace and defense industry, has announced the Company has certified trainers and operators to build printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) to the IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum standard. Certification to build to the IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum standard enhances Nortech System's capabilities in producing PCBAs that meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry. This ensures that all products manufactured under this standard adhere to rigorous quality and reliability criteria, making them suitable for use in critical space applications.

“Expanding our capabilities to be certified to build to the J-STD Space Addendum standard is a testament to our unwavering dedication to delivering high quality, mission-critical products to Nortech’s aerospace and defense customers," stated Jay D. Miller, CEO of Nortech Systems. "Certifying our trainers and operators expands Nortech’s capacity to meet the complex demands of the A&D industry and highlights the Company’s strategic commitment to grow our business in this segment.”

Key Benefits of the IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum Certification:

• Enhanced Quality Assurance: Adherence to strict standards ensures the reliability and durability of PCBAs used in aerospace and defense applications.
• Increased Market Competitiveness: This certification positions Nortech Systems as a preferred supplier for aerospace and defense contractors seeking certified, high-quality components.
• Commitment to Innovation: The certification underscores Nortech's dedication to continuous improvement and technological advancement.

The IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum is a comprehensive set of guidelines and requirements designed to ensure the production of high-reliability electronic assemblies for use in space environments. It complements the existing IPC-J-STD-001 by adding specific criteria tailored for space applications, focusing on factors critical to performance and safety in space, such as thermal management, vibration tolerance, and radiation resistance. The Addendum outlines stringent criteria for materials selection, workmanship standards, and testing procedures to meet or exceed industry benchmarks for durability and reliability. The adoption of the IPC-J-STD-001 standard by Nortech Systems will result in the production of components that can withstand the unique challenges of the aerospace environment, assuring our customers that our systems will function optimally under the demanding conditions of space missions.

Nortech Systems has a long history of serving the aerospace and defense markets with a wide range of engineering and manufacturing solutions. The addition of the IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum certified trainers and operators to build printed circuit board assemblies further solidifies the company’s position as an industry leader in delivering reliable, high-performance products.
