Practical Components will showcase its advanced technologies in representative AAT Aston’s exhibit at Hall A2 Stand 578 scheduled to take place November 12-15, 2019 at the New Munich Trade Fair Center in Munich, Germany.
Celebrating 22 years of participating at Productronica, Practical will showcase many innovative technologies new to the trade fair. Visitors can learn more about the company’s latest advancements, including:
- New SMTA Solder Paste Test Vehicle for Miniaturized Surface Mount Technology. Optimize the stencil printing and reflow portions of SMT assembly with this SMTA test vehicle to help develop robust capabilities for components as small as 008004 and 01005 components and 0.3mm pitch array packages.
- New Advanced Wafer Bumping Technology Chips, Test Vehicles and Wafers such as the MB6020 with Pad Pitches of 60/55/50/45/40/35/30/25/20μm.
- Dummy eWLP-Wafers .4-CuPd-DC-NB 8" wafer-embedded copper pads.
- Dummy CSPnl-Wafers .4-DC-SAC405 8" wafers with SAC405 ball daisy-chained 0.4 mm pitch.
- New IPC/WHMA-A-620C-S Space Addendum Kit to ensure the reliability of cable and wire harness assemblies that must survive the vibration and thermal cyclic environments getting to and operating in space.
- WHMA-A620 Wire Harness Training Kit and Pegboard helps teach the visual, electrical and mechanical quality acceptability requirements for cable, wire and harness assemblies.
- B-52 Rev B CRET Cleanliness & Residue Evaluation Test Kit
- New IPC J-STD Rev F/G and IPC 7711/7721 Rework Hand Solder Training Kits

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.
