Lilotree’s Dr. Kunal Shah to Present at IPC APEX EXPO 2019

LiloTree’s president and founder, Dr. Kunal Shah, will present a paper called “A Novel & Cost-effective Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) Surface Finish for Better Reliability of Electronic Assemblies” at IPC APEX EXPO 2019 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. His presentation will be on Tuesday, January 29 at 3:30-5:00 p.m. in room 6D.
Dr. Shah will present his paper on his National Science Foundation award winning innovative new ENIG-Premium, a ground-breaking, world-changing innovation that provide better ENIG performance without cyanide. Because this product is about to be introduced to the general market, everyone interested in getting a much better performing ENIG (higher reliability) while getting the cyanide and saving up to 30% on gold usage should attend Dr. Shah’s presentation about ENIG-premium in San Diego next week.
Long-time industry expert, Steve Williams, has called ENIG-premium the most important technological innovation in the past twenty years. Commenting on the new product, Williams said, “After seeing the third-party test results, I am a true believer in ENIG-premium. It performs better than traditional ENIG, including allowing for a much more controlled gold plating so the average is 30% savings on gold usage and it gets rid of that nasty cyanide. This will be good for the PCB builders and ever better for the CEMs and OEMs who are using the boards.”
For those interested in a more in depth conversation about Lilotree’s ENIG-premium, they can meet with Dr. Shah and his entire team at their booth (booth # 243) as they will be exhibiting at the show as well. Also, there will be live demo of ENIG-premium plated boards and tight thickness distribution of gold thickness by on-site measurement using XRF.

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.

Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
