Don't get left behind! To stay on top of the lead free issue, consider
the importance of:

 

*       Materials declaration 
*       New alloys and material evaluations 
*       Inspection changes 
*       Avoiding tin whiskers 
*       Advanced packages like chip scale and flip chip-how does lead
free fit in? 
*       Reliability 

 

Assembly operations may face increased costs as high as 15% to implement
lead free operations.  In addition, the record keeping and reporting
requirements have enormous implications for your company.  To remain
competitive, your company had better get a firm grasp on lead free
criteria now before the EU Directive takes effect in July, 2006. 

 

The International Conference on Lead free Electronics, Toward
Implementation of the RoHS Directive <http://www.ipc.org/LFBarcelona> ,
sponsored by IPC and Soldertec Global, a division of Tin Technology,
will be held 7-10 June in Barcelona, Spain at the Hotel Fira Palace.
This remarkable event will bring together the leading experts in lead
free at this major European conference. Don't miss this exclusive
opportunity that includes 9 workshops and tutorials and 36 technical
sessions.

 

A small sampling of courses include:  

*       A - Z of Lead free Soldering 
*       Lead free Compatibility in Materials and Processes 
*       Lead free Inspection, Process Control and Defect Elimination 
*       Electronic Material Declaration Standards to Support
Eco-Compliance 

 

Technical sessions include:

*       RoHS:  Implementation and Enforcement Across the EU 
*       Implementation of a Lead free Manufacturing Process for High
Complexity Electronic Assemblies 
*       A Database for the Transition to Lead Free 
*       Could Thin Tin Over Nickel be an Answer to Tin Whiskers? 

 

Hear company representatives from IBM, Indium, Hitachi, Cookson, Henkel
and Hewlett Packard, to name a few, as they share their lead free
knowledge.

 

And, check out the tabletop exhibits during the conference breaks where
you'll get details on the latest technology.
