Zestron's Umut Tosun to Lead Pro Development Course at IPC APEX EXPO 2018
February 15, 2018 | ZESTRONEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ZESTRON has announced that Umut Tosun M.S.Ch.E., will instruct a professional development course at IPC APEX EXPO 2018. "Electronic Assembly Reliability—Meeting the Challenges of Today's Design" is scheduled during the PD25 session on Thursday, March 1 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
Electronics design and assembly continues to evolve in complexity and performance and at an ever increasing rate. Likewise, solder paste formulations have evolved yielding products that are halide-free, lead-free, and with low solids as in the case of No Clean pastes and fluxes. In order to meet the ever increasing reliability challenges posed by electronics manufacturing, significant developments have been made regarding cleaning technology. This course has been developed to address the electronics cleaning challenges and the latest cleaning technology trends.
Tosun is the application technology manager at ZESTRON Americas. As an active member of the SMTA and IPC, he has presented numerous technical studies at key industry events addressing critical cleaning challenges within electronics manufacturing. He has been an instructor at IPC sponsored Professional Development seminars, SMTA sponsored webtorials as well as numerous regional technical workshops. Additionally, he has been the recipient of awards recognizing his contributions to the industry.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
