The SMTA Capital Chapter and UP Media Group/Circuits Assembly Magazine are pleased to co-sponsor this Chapter Tutorial Program on March 28 featuring presentations by Yaad Eliya and Jim Barry of PCB Technologies.
Don’t miss out on this full day educational event showcasing the latest technologies, designs and reliability trends. This gives you the chance to learn about PCB advancements from engaging speakers with years of experience and global industry knowledge.
A great value, at half the cost of a tutorial at SMTA International and offered right in your backyard! Lunch, coffee breaks, course handouts and a certificate of completion are all included in the cost. Topics include:
Solderability Issues from the PCB Fabrication Perspective
-
The speaker will discuss the PCB manufacturing process and its direct effect on the solderability process.
-
Items such as plating technique (DC plating vs. reverse plating), final finishes and other processes that affect the assembly.
Design for Reliability
-
How design aspects can directly affect the reliability of the raw card at the assembly level
-
Items such as nonfunctional pads, via fill, cross-hatched grounds, conductor routing, PTH preparations, and their effects on reliability will be discussed.
RF/Microwave Design Considerations and Options
-
Do’s and don’ts for RF and microwave success.
-
Items such as materials, lamination cycles, single vs. double cavities and “air cavity” for varying frequencies will be discussed.
Thermal Mitigation Options at the Raw Card Level
-
Options available for thermal mitigation at the raw card level.
-
As designs get smaller and faster, high temperature is becoming a big issue. Materials, heatsinks and coins to help mitigate heat will be discussed.
