“Joining PCBAA aligns with our commitment to strengthening the domestic electronics industry by emphasizing the importance of test and quality assurance in every stage of the PCB lifecycle,” said Bert Horner, President at The Test Connection, Inc. “As the only test engineering company in PCBAA, we look forward to bringing our 45 years of expertise to the table to support both policy initiatives and technological advancements that will benefit the entire U.S. electronics manufacturing sector.”

Celebrating its 45th anniversary, TTCI has built a reputation for delivering best-in-class in-circuit testing (ICT), functional test development, and boundary scan solutions to industries where failure is not an option, including aerospace, defense, medical, and automotive. As a certified ISO 9001:2015 and ITAR- registered company, TTCI is trusted to ensure product quality, reduce defects, and optimize manufacturing efficiency through comprehensive test engineering services.

In addition to its industry-leading test services, TTCI recently launched The Training Connection, LLC (TTC-LLC) — a dedicated training division offering Design for Test (DFT) education, IPC standards certifications (610, 600, 620), and advanced soldering techniques. With training locations in Baltimore
and Tampa, TTC-LLC empowers engineers, technicians, and professionals with the hands-on skills and industry knowledge required to meet the demands of modern electronics manufacturing.

As the U.S. works to rebuild and secure its domestic electronics supply chain, test engineering plays a critical role in ensuring that American-made PCBs and electronic assemblies meet the highest standards for performance and reliability. Through its involvement with PCBAA, TTCI is proud to contribute its voice, expertise, and advocacy to support the growth and competitiveness of the U.S. electronics industry.
