American Standard to Exhibit at DMC 2018 in Nashville
December 1, 2018 | American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
American Standard Circuits will be exhibiting at the Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) 2018, to be held December 3 – 6 at the Nashville Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
“As one of the industry’s leading suppliers of defense and aerospace printed circuit boards, we feel that it is very important for us to be present at DMC 2018,” said CEO Anaya Vardya. “We welcome the opportunity to meet face to face with the country’s largest defense contractors with the intention of learning how we can better serve them. We look forward to meeting with both our customers and future customers at Booth 608.”
The DMC Conference's theme is "Manufacturing Innovation for the Warfighter." The show will be conducted simultaneously with the Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Conference. Attendees will be able to attend the concurrent DMSMS Conference at no additional expense, providing access to more technical information for the same travel cost.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
10/25/2024 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Just this month, the Fall issue of IPC Community was released, spotlighting the global activities of IPC and its members. SMT007 Magazine covers the scary situation around counterfeit components. Design007 Magazine is not playing tricks with its hard-hitting discussions about “partial HDI.” (If you are asking yourself what that is, you really need to take a look.) Finally, PCB007 Magazine’s alternate metallization issue offers some real treats, including an interview featured this past week with Carmichael Gugliotti of MacDermid Alpha. In you’re in the U.S., here’s to an early Happy Halloween.
Exploring Advanced PCB Final Finishing: DIG, RAIG Technologies
10/24/2024 | Rich DePoto, UyemuraIn this interview, Rich DePoto of Uyemura provides a deep overview and explanation of Reduction-assisted Immersion Gold (RAIG) and direct immersion gold (DIG) technology, and their applications and benefits when compared to traditional final finishes. He delves into the intricacies of electroless nickel corrosion and “black pad,” exploring its causes, consequences, and the measures that can be taken to mitigate this problem. This comprehensive overview will provide insight toward sound decision-making for those operating in environments where perfect process control is a challenge.

Themed "Making Your Imagination Reality," the event has brought together leaders, technical experts, and corporate representatives from the global electronics manufacturing industry to explore future trends and opportunities.
Highlights of the ICT 50th Anniversary Symposium
10/24/2024 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Why does it always rain when I attend these events? Temperatures were dropping, daylight was shrinking, and there were seasonal colour changes in wet hedgerows as I travelled to Gloucestershire for the 50th Anniversary Symposium of the Institute of Circuit Technology at Puckrup Hall near Tewkesbury in mid-October. It was a memorable occasion: Nostalgic for my contemporaries who remembered our industry at its most prosperous, technically outstanding in the quality and significance of presentations to an attentive audience of printed circuit professionals, and complemented by the sharing of ideas, information, and trade gossip within a friendly community at the evening gathering.
Global Citizenship: Comparing and Contrasting the U.S. and China PCB Industries
10/23/2024 | Tom Yang -- Column: Global CitizenshipI have spent a lot of time in the U.S., and one question I am frequently asked is about the differences between the Chinese and U.S. PCB industries. It’s always an interesting question, and I will try to answer it in this month’s column. Certainly, the U.S. was the leader in PCB manufacturing, including developing the processes and technology, which it taught to the Chinese in the late 1980s and ’90s. As a result, China has become a force to be reckoned with in the global PCB market. Having been educated in America and now leading a major PCB manufacturing company in China, I have a unique vantage point when it comes to comparing the two nations’ approaches to PCB production.
