Current IssueSilicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

ZESTRON’s Michael Kövi to Present at SMTAI 2019
September 17, 2019 | ZESTRONEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ZESTRON has announced that Michael Kövi, application engineer, ZESTRON Europe, will be presenting “Handling Technical Cleanliness in Electronic Production” at SMTA International. Kövi’s presentation will be on Thursday, September 26, during session MFX7 – Cleaning: Challenges.
Technical cleanliness primarily measures the presence or absence of particles on electronic components and parts within industrial manufacturing processes. The presence of electrically conductive particles on components can impact the production process or the proper operation of the component or PCB. Conductive particles may cause PCB failure by connecting contacts on a circuit board and causing a short circuit event. Even barring a direct connection between contacts, a conductive particle between two contacts that do not touch can cause an electrical breakdown or tracking as a result of reducing the air gap and creepage distance.
Filter membranes are used to extract particles that are inspected to quantify contaminants that may affect the performance, lifetime, and reliability of final products.
This paper provides overviews of the latest developments in standardization, implications for adopting a technical cleanliness approach, monitoring and validation procedures, and a brief introduction to risk assessment of particle contamination.
