IPC Workshop: |
October 6–7, 2010 — Hosted by Colonial Circuits, Fredericksburg, VA
Printed board design today is about tough choices and trade-offs between increasingly sophisticated fabrication technologies. This workshop will address tolerance characteristics that make sense using the capabilities of today’s manufacturing equipment. Here is a unique opportunity to learn about design issues first-hand, with a tour of a printed board manufacturer.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is a must for all involved directly in printed circuit board design. Recommended for: process, manufacturing, packaging, reliability and purchasing engineers, managers and staff. Great background for your marketing and sales teams.
What You Will Learn
- Design parameters (rigid, flex & tolerances)
- Material selection (laminate & platings)
- Leaded parts vs. lead free
- Small hole technology (through-hole, blind, buried and microvias)
- Imaging, conductor definition, and lamination
- Solder mask and legend (plugged vias and surface finishes)
- Final fabrication and quality control (defect verification)
- Component requirements (new plating and size restrictions)
- Board design for assembly (components clearances and test nodes)
- Assembly material properties (new material impact on design)
- Land pattern design (mathematical models and library tools)
- Assembly considerations (new process restrictions on materials)
- Electrical testing (techniques and data transfer methods)
- Future changes contemplated for IC packaging
