HyRel Technologies, a global provider of quick turn semiconductor modification solutions, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 2025 Symposium on Counterfeit Parts and Materials, taking place June 24–26, 2025 at the College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Hyattsville, Maryland. This key event is co-organized by the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) and the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) at the University of Maryland.
The symposium convenes global experts to address the escalating challenges posed by counterfeit components in the electronics supply chain. As a specialist in component preparation and processing for high-reliability applications, HyRel Technologies collaborates closely with OEMs and CMs in defense, aerospace, industrial, and other mission-critical sectors—where component authenticity and performance are paramount.
“HyRel is proud to support SMTA and CALCE in advancing awareness and best practices around counterfeit mitigation,” said Brian Watson, Founder, HyRel Technologies. “This event is an important opportunity to come together as an industry and help ensure the reliability of global supply chains.”
HyRel’s services—including robotic hot solder component tinning, solder ball removal and replacement, and tape and reel packaging—are designed to support quality assurance processes and enhance component reliability before assembly. These solutions are widely used to help ensure conformance with standards such as GEIA-STD-0006 and to prepare components for high-reliability environments.
Through its sponsorship, HyRel Technologies continues support collaboration, education, and innovation in the ongoing fight against counterfeit risks.
HyRel is dedicated to not only advancing its business but also to fostering the growth and potential of individuals who will shape the future of the semiconductor industry.
