Hmmmmmm...now I AM intrigued! But, I must say also a little worried by
Ray Rasmussen's statement:
"In my humble opinion, most of our rules for PCB manufacture and
assembly will change. And not only might the rules change, but the
entire industry could be facing its biggest technological shift since
plated through-holes. Forty years of designing, manufacturing and
assembling printed circuit boards pretty much "like we always have" is
about to change."
Am I going to be out of a job in the near future? Will companies like
the one I work for be history?

Just what in the heck is this? Marketing hype?...or is it something
that is truely revolutionary?
Well, "IT" depends - how is that for Friday TechNet play on words?
A limited number of industry "experts" have been given the opportunity
to review the release package for "IT". I am not saying I am an expert,
but I am involved in Roadmap and JISSO activities. I have had a window
peek at the
technology.
The interconnection technology package is, in my opinion, evolutionary,
and I might add - exciting. Elements of it have been around for perhaps
30 years, but this is a new sequence of steps that makes you say -
"Darn, why didn't
I think of that". In my opinion, the key to putting this over the
top, is
the RoHS situation (the kindest word I can call it). While I am sure
not all the "bugs" are worked out yet, I am sure the technology will get
a thorough
hearing in the next year. But, I am not going to spill the beans -
August 1
is not far away
