Selecting Components for Lead-Free SMT Assembly August 14, 2008 - 10:00 am - 11:00 am



Is your company able to accommodate lead-free soldering ... and effectively work with lead-free compatible components? With the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive firmly in place, you need to be able to answer "yes." Even if legislation doesn't require you to comply, sweeping change throughout the global marketplace does. Now that component manufacturers worldwide have abandoned lead-containing alloy terminal plating, every assembly company needs to modify its process to accommodate lead-free components.





Assembly Process Guidelines for Wafer Level CSP August 21, 2008 - 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Today's consumers expect each new generation of personal entertainment and portable handset products to be smaller, thinner, lighter in weight ... and loaded with even greater functionality. How can electronics manufacturers offer a product that meets all those functional and performance expectations without increasing product cost? Many companies are turning to IC packages that are no greater than the die element.

A wide range of choices exist today for assembly of ultra-fine-pitch wafer level and die-size surface mount devices. Although solder remains the most common method for device attachment, a number of alternative methods - such as the use of conductive polymers and ultrasonic gold-to-gold interface - have been developed to reliably secure the miniature die-sized elements to the circuit structure.
