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.
