Yes, I did catch that. But as you indicate, the IPC has an office in
India. And while the asker may not be able to physically attend the
meetings, we are starting to get more connected now that WiFi is
everywhere. A LOT of standards specification work is being moved along by
Webex or similar web-based meetings, so participation in IPC should not be
based on whether you can physically make the meetings.
Yes, the after-meeting stuff would be much more fun if you attended. I
guess the point being is that a lot of networking goes on outside of the
meetings and you get the priceless pearls of wisdom often through such
networking.

Good response, except the asker has an email address that suggests he
lives in India, and may be unlikely to go to US IPC meetings.
Also, not everyone goes out for beer and pizza after the meetings, I
usually don't.
IPC has an office in Bangalore, some of my Indian colleagues attend their
meetings.

You ask a question far too broad for a reasonable answer. As a start, I
would recommend any books by the late Dr. Werner Englemeyer, an active
participation in Technet until his death. You can search on the Technet
Archives using his name as a keyword and probably still be reading this
time next year.
Are you talking about reliability of the bare board or of the finished
assembly? Two very different things, but related.
Brian Ellis's text on cleaning should be on everyone's desk.
Clyde Coombs has authored an excellent reference book "Printed Circuits
Handbook", published by McGraw Hill. Mine is the 5th edition but it might
be up to the sixth edition by now.
Charlie Harper has a good book, Electronic Materials and Processes, also
McGraw Hill, 6th edition.
Beyond that, it depends on what aspect of reliability you are looking for.
I will say though, that if you really want the best education in
electronics reliability, stuff you won't find in most books, get involved
with the IPC standards and attend what meetings you can. I can't begin to
tell you the education it has provided me over the years. You learn as
much over pizza and beer after the meetings as you do in the meetings
itself.

Dear All,
Which book should i study to understand the reliability engineering of
PCB. regards,
R.Saravanan
