American Standard Circuits Focuses on Education with 77 Second Webinars
July 26, 2022 | American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
American Standard Circuits has launched an ongoing bite size series 77 Second Webinars and other educational videos on YouTube, featuring pertinent PCB topics like controlled impedance, buried resisters, and flex technologies as well as series focused on RF and thermal products.
The purpose of these videos is to educate and inform those interested in learning more about various technologies of the PCB industry. They are especially effective for PCB buyers and those who are entering the market for the first time.
President and CEO Anaya Vardya commented, “We have always felt that it is our duty to pass on the knowledge and experience our accomplished team has gained over the years with the rest of the industry. A few years ago, we launched a complete educational program that includes downloadable e-books, our Wednesday Webinars, a monthly column with I-Connect007 and now our series of educational videos on YouTube. We are dedicated to an industry that has been very good to our team. This is our way of giving back.”
Some of the subjects we are covering:
- RF Thermal Management
- Embedded Capacitance
- Cavity Construction
- Via Fill
- Flexible Solder Mask
- The Kitchen Sink Board
Be sure to check out these topics and more on the ASC YouTube channel (search American Standard Circuits) and visit our website to learn more about Wednesday Webinars.
