The Electronics Group

The Electronics Group are a specialist electronics manufacturing support business based in Leeds.

History

Formerly Electronics Yorkshire, The Electronics Group are experts in the industry with a vast array of knowledge in both Electronics Manufacturing and Engineering. Established in 2003, Electronics Yorkshire (originally part of Bradford College) has been providing Training and Support and has been both an Authorised IPC Training Centre and Distributor for many years. Electronics Yorkshire’

s Advanced Training Centre (based in Leeds) is the largest of its kind in the UK and will continue to be the Head Office for The Electronics Group serving each division of the group. In 2013 we introduced a dedicated Electronics Engineering Apprenticeship at Intermediate Level 2 and in 2015 we added an Advanced Level 3. We are currently developing a Higher Level 4 for introduction in 2017. The change to The Electronics Group recognises the larger role, that the company now provides for the industry across the whole of UK and occasionally overseas. A new addition to coincide with the introduction of The Electronics Group is temporary and permanent recruitment for Electronics Production and Engineering staff. The Electronics Group will continue to provide IPC Training, Practical Skills Training and Technical Inspection Services as done in previous years as we continue to develop and grow as an organisation. Our Vision

Our vision is “to be the first choice support company for the UK Electronics Industry and its people” and we are continually working on developing our services to achieve this.

Our X-ray inspection service allows you to see inside your assemblies without damaging them.

Whether you need to investigate a production issue or check the quality of a prototype, our X-ray inspection is completely non-destructive, so you can get a closer look without damaging the assembly in the process.

If you've never used X-ray inspection before and aren't sure whether it's right for you, send us a sample and we'll provide a FREE X-ray image so you can see exactly what the technology can reveal.

📍 Leeds-based, supporting businesses across the UK.

📞 Call us today on 0113 274 4270 or send us a message and we will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Here's what some of our delegates had to say about us last month:

💭 "Course length was spot on, David's knowledge was fantastic."

💭 "Very well led course with very helpful approach from the trainer."

💭 "Trainer was able to provide good practical examples for any specific topics or terminology we weren't clear with."

💭 "More hands on than expected, which is always better than a presentation. I felt that I could take my own time to learn."

💭 "Kieran was an amazing teacher. He was patient, kind and knowledgeable. Could not be more satisfied with his training."

We love to hear your feedback! Whether it's positive or constructive, it all helps us to continue to improve our services.

If you have an experience you would like to share, please feel free to email us anytime at [email protected]

New soldering kits now available!

We’ve added two new practical soldering kits to our website that have been designed to give you everything you need to practise and develop your soldering skills:

🔹 Through Hole Soldering Kit – for practising through hole component preparation, placement and soldering.

🔹 Surface Mount Soldering Kit – for practising the placement and soldering of surface mount components.

Ideal for continued practice, our kits are a great way to build on your training, improve your techniques and keep your soldering skills sharp.

Both kits are available to order now through our website - https://electronicsgroup.co.uk/product-category/soldering-training-kits-and-components/

Got a question about which kit is right for you or which training you should attend? Get in touch with our team on 0113 274 4270 or email [email protected] – we’re always happy to chat!

Our team are always looking for new ways to make our courses more practical and engaging.

This week, Kevin Whitehead shared one of the new demonstration boards we’ve introduced to our Electronics Fundamentals training course.

These boards will give our delegates a hands-on way to explore how logic gates work. Rather than simply learning the theory from a presentation, students can change the inputs themselves and see how different combinations of 1s and 0s affect the output in real time.

They demonstrate several common logic gates, including AND, OR, NAND, NOR and XOR, helping to make an important concept in digital electronics much easier to visualise and understand.

It’s another way we’re bringing more hands-on learning into the classroom and helping beginners build their knowledge and confidence before moving on to more complex electronic circuitry.

You can find full details of our Electronics Fundamentals courses on our website - https://electronicsgroup.co.uk/introduction-to-electronics-fundamentals/ or get in touch with our team on 0113 274 4270 if you have any questions about the training or which course is right for you.

We want to hear from you! 👋

We’re always looking for ways to better support the electronics industry, and who better to ask than the people working in it?

So, is there anything specific you'd like us to offer to better support you and your team?

It could be:
🔹 More technical tips and advice
🔹 Particular training courses or topics
🔹 More resources and guides
🔹 Questions you’d like our trainers or technical team to answer
🔹 Or something we haven’t thought of yet!

Whether it’s something that would make your job a little easier, help your team, or simply something you’d find interesting, we’d love to hear your ideas.

💬 Let us know in the comments below, or send us an email at [email protected].

If you're working with IPC standards, you'll probably have noticed that new revisions are released from time to time. But have you ever wondered why they need to be changed?

That's because electronics manufacturing doesn't stay the same for very long. New processes and technologies are constantly being introduced, as well as new materials and components, so the standards need to continue to evolve alongside them.

Revisions can also be made to:

🔹 Clarify requirements that may have caused confusion previously
🔹 Update criteria to reflect changes in technology and manufacturing practices
🔹 Add new information, images or examples
🔹 Address feedback from people using the standards in industry
🔹 Keep requirements relevant to the way electronics are actually being designed and manufactured today

IPC standards are developed and updated through industry committees that bring together manufacturers, suppliers, customers and technical experts from all over the world. This means that revisions aren't just made for the sake of it. They're designed and updated to keep the standards useful and relevant and make sure they represent current industry practices.

That's also why it's important to check which revision you're working to, particularly when a customer or contract specifies a particular standard.

Our team can help with the latest IPC standards, training and advice if you're unsure which revision you need. Get in touch with us today on 0113 274 4270 or drop us an email at [email protected] if you have any questions.

All the latest standard revisions and many previous revisions are available to buy on our website - https://electronicsgroup.co.uk/shop/

One of our IPC trainers, Dave, recently shared a tip that we wanted to share with you.

💡 If you use IPC-A-600, it's worth having IPC-6012 alongside it.

This is because the two standards are actually designed to work together.

IPC-6012 defines the rules and performance requirements for making a rigid printed circuit board (PCB), while IPC-A-600 provides the visual photographs and illustrations used to inspect the board and verify that those rules are met.

Throughout IPC-A-600, there are references back to the IPC-601X series, making it a companion document rather than a standalone specification.

So, if you're inspecting rigid PCBs, having both standards available gives you the complete picture: the performance requirements and the visual guidance to help interpret them.

Thanks to Dave for the tip! 👏

If you have any questions about either standard you can always contact our team on 0113 274 4270 or drop us an email at [email protected]

Both standards are available to purchase through our website - https://electronicsgroup.co.uk/shop/
