Silicon Valley Designers Council Chapter Meeting Oct. 13
October 5, 2016 | Silicon Valley IPC Designers CouncilEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Join the Silicon Valley IPC Designers Council at TTM San Jose for an educational "Lunch 'n Learn" meeting on October 13 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. Speaker Julie Ellis, field applications engineer with TTM Technologies, will discuss “Printed Circuit Board Cost-Adders.”
A designer is faced with many challenges when planning their printed circuit board to achieve a balance of performance, quality and reliability versus cost. Unfortunately, the cost of a printed circuit board increases with size, thickness, number of layers, features, and technical difficulty.
Throughout this presentation, Julie will discuss basic design guidelines for standard production—as opposed to advanced capabilities—and how they affect the number of required processes and, therefore, cost. She will also discuss costs related to material utilization, fixed premiums for smaller lines/spaces and tolerances, and variable costs of high speed materials, drilling, and multiple lamination cycles. Lastly, Julie will show increasingly complex stack-ups to demonstrate how cost factors relate to the additional processes. You will learn the correlation between requirements and costs to help you make better design choices.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/29/2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007If you’re in the U.S. today, odds are you’re at home enjoying the aftermath of a Thanksgiving holiday meal. Let me just say that whether you had a Thanksgiving holiday surrounded by family, friends, or both, I hope it was joyous. If you know someone who doesn’t have friends or family with whom to share this time, please reach out and include them. Chronic loneliness can exact a measurable toll on our mental and physical health. Wherever you are on the globe this holiday season, I encourage you to reach out to someone who might be battling loneliness and connect. It will make a difference to them. Not only will it help get you in the mood for your winter holiday of choice, but it’ll be good for your mental health as well.
IPC Japan Puts More Focus on Collaboration, Standards Development, Advanced Packaging
11/26/2024 | Yusaku Kono, IPC Japan RepresentativeIn the past year, IPC has strengthened its relationships with key Japanese companies and government bodies. This was accomplished, in part, by a visit to Japan this past summer, where members of the IPC Asia team, punctuated by standards committee work last winter, forged stronger ties with government officials and companies involved in electronics manufacturing.
IPC Hall of Fame Spotlight Series: Highlighting Patty Goldman
11/22/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In my first article of this special series, I wrote a synopsis of the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame (HOF) Award, along with a commentary on its first few members, particularly Pritchard. Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded this high honor and recognition. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Patty Goldman.
