February 9, 2016 | SMTAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
SMTA is excited to announce the finalized program and registration is now open for the South East Asia Technical Conference on Electronics Assembly. The event will be held April 12-14, 2016 at the Eastin Hotel in Penang, Malaysia.
This global conference is a strong technical three-day event focused on today’s most important and timely issues in electronics manufacturing. Conference sessions will cover Solder Alloy for Reliability, LED Technology, Traceability and Test, High Reliability, Components and Microelectronics, Printing and Assembly, BGA and BTC, Harsh Environments and Emerging Manufacturing Technologies.
Mohammed Khan, M.S. Lumileds, will deliver the Day 1 keynote presentation on LEDs: The Future is Bright - Trends & Challenges in Manufacturing. Chuck Bauer, Ph.D., TechLead Corporation, will present the Day 2 keynote presentation on Nanotechnology in Electronics Packaging, Interconnect, and Assembly.
Half-Day Training workshops will be held on Tuesday, April 12. Workshop topics will include:
- Designing the Cleaning Process within the PCB Assembly Operations
- Industry 4.0 Smart Factory and Design Collaboration with Manufacturing Partners
- Solder Paste Evaluation (A review of How Solder Pastes are Evaluated)
- Designing in Reliability by Assessing Contamination at the Component Interface
- It’s Time for Low Temperature-Low Temperatures Solders, New Development and Their Applications
- An Overview of the Factors and Mechanisms Impacting Reliability in HALT
The SE Asia Technical Conference on Electronics Assembly Technology is sponsored by the SMTA with support from the Persatuan Surface Mount Technology P. Pinang.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
