MAY 2020 I PCB007 MAGAZINE 59 Two Steps to Implement the 'Twist' First, do all inspection and tests per MIL- PRF-31032 for parts requiring MIL-PRF-55110 or MIL-PRF-50884. Second, for the finished prod- uct certificate of conformance (CoC), use the following statement: "Product was manufac- tured to meet MIL-PRF-55110H Amendment 3, Appendix B, acceptable requirements." Note: Substitute "MIL-PRF-50884F Amendment 3" for flexible products. Summary The twist with MIL-PRF-31032 allows the fab- rication of MIL-PRF-55110 and MIL-PRF-50884 part numbers with a simple two-step imple- mentation process and thus "three military specifications with one stone." Furthermore, as the reliability of revenue streams has be- come more important today, the building and selling of military PCBs has moved up a few steps. PCB007 References 1.

"Change" can be a dreaded word. People suffer, and companies fail be- cause they don't want to change. It's nat- ural to despise change because it makes people uncomfortable, and they would rather have things remain the same. Take social media platforms, for instance; some people have made fortunes by taking ad- vantage of changes in that area, while oth- ers called Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook "passing fads."
