Electronic Industry Association (EIA)

The Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) was a trade organization representing companies in the electronics industry, focusing on standardization, advocacy, and industry growth. It developed technical standards to ensure compatibility and safety of electronic products, helping different manufacturers create compatible components. While it played a key role in coordinating industry efforts and advancing technological development, the EIA no longer exists as it dissolved in 2011, with its functions absorbed by other organizations. Its legacy remains in the standards and practices it helped establish within the electronics sector.
