Current IssueThe Butterfly Effect
The basis of chaos theory is a key concept known as the “butterfly effect.” It’s the idea that a small event in one place creates a cascading set of events elsewhere. So, how is the EMS landscape changing? We’re tracking the concerns and dynamics of this landscape, and there’s a lot to learn.
Coming to Terms With AI

Peters: Casting Compound Perfectly Protects Electronics from Overheating

With ELPECAST® VU 4545/101, Peters has recently added a casting compound to its product portfolio that is characterised by particularly high thermal conductivity. ‘At 1.7 W/mK, the thermal conductivity value is by far higher than standard,’ says Christoph Münz, a graduate chemist at the Kempen-based ink manufacturer. This high thermal conductivity makes it an ideal choice for applications where efficient heat dissipation is crucial - such as in electronics and sensor technology as well as in lighting electronics.
This way, industrial customers can rely on the two-component casting compound ELPECAST® VU 4545/101. On the one hand, the synthetic resin product provides reliable electrical insulation; on the other, the heat generated in the component is quickly dissipated, thus extending the service life. The maximum temperature of the component can be significantly reduced by a thermally conductive encapsulation,’ explains Christoph Münz.
What makes VU 4545/101 casting compound so special is its excellent processability and the comparatively low flowability. This not only facilitates application, but also enables a precise and efficient potting procedure. Another important aspect is its best flame class V-0 according to UL 94, which ensures maximum fire safety. ‘The casting compound offers a sensible and cost-effective alternative to silicone products,’ reports Christoph Münz, who has been with Peters since 2007 and currently works in the R&D department at Peters Research.

Bridging the Gap: Re-engaging Design and Manufacturing with Downstream
06/27/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineAt PCB East in Boxborough, Massachusetts, I caught up with Joe Clark, co-founder of DownStream Technologies. In this interview, Joe walks us through how we got into our current situation, with design, fab, and assembly functioning in separate silos, and how DownStream and the IPC-2581 data format can help bridge this gap. He also discusses what we lost by moving from the captive model, and what we stand to gain by knocking down the walls between design and manufacturing.
