Current IssueInner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

SMTA Releases New Online Training Course on Design of Experiments
October 10, 2024 | SMTAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The SMTA announced that a new 101-level online training course, “DOE 101: Design of Experiments,” is now available in the training section of the SMTA website.
Design of Experiments (DOE) is a tool that engineers can use to efficiently identify interactions between process factors to save time and materials, with the minimum amount of testing. Using real-world examples from the stencil printing process in electronics manufacturing, instructors Jim Hall and Dr. Ron Lasky will guide you through this valuable process analysis and improvement methodology.
This course is useful for engineers who want to get a fundamental understanding of DOEs and optimize their assembly processes. A basic understanding of statistics and some familiarity with the electronics assembly process is recommended.
As with all SMTA online training courses, “DOE 101” was peer-reviewed by members of a task force assembled by the training committee to ensure non-commercialism and quality.
The recorded presentation duration is about one hour cumulative and includes a 10-question quiz to confirm knowledge retention. The course format is online, with on-demand access for up to one year. SMTA membership is required for access.
