Sign Up Now for Orange Co. Designers Council Chapter Meeting Jan. 21
January 9, 2020 | IPC Designers Council, Orange Co. ChapterEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Orange County Chapter of the IPC Designers Council will hold a Lunch and Learn meeting on Tuesday, January 21, 2020, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The guest speaker is Gerry Partida, senior field application engineer with Summit Interconnect.
Gerry will present "Microvias: Have You Designed for Reliability? How to detect weak microvias and avoid costly assembly defects and customer field failures."
As component pin densities get tighter with each passing year, designers have been pushed to the use of HDI with more microvias and blind/buried via structures. As a result, tighter via densities and signal integrity requirements in printed boards have revealed reliability concerns with microvia structures in high performance products. Avoiding post fabrication microvia failures is critical to the success of your products and there are things that designers need to know.
Gerry’s presentation will review concerns and reliability testing of microvias. He will provide an overview of the HDI processes and present the use of current test methods and the superiority of testing with IPC-D-coupon and IPC-TM-650 test methods 2.6.7.2 and 2.6.27. He will also discuss the warning statement in the forthcoming IPC-6012E, Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards.

IPC APEX EXPO 2025 Review: Expecting the Unexpected
03/31/2025 | Tom Kastner, GP VenturesOne of the best things about trade shows is not the scheduled meetings but the chance meetings that come up unexpectedly. Just because you happened to go down one aisle instead of the next, you bump into an old acquaintance that you have not seen for years, or you happen to talk to the guy in line next to you to get a $5 Pepsi, and it turns into a great, new connection.
