The Metalic Foils Subcommittee is going to undertake a revision of 
metalic foils specification IPC-MF-150. The last revision (F), was 
published in October 1991, with and amendment published in August 1992. 
Since that time, several new types of foil have been introduced to the 
marketplace. In the last few years especialy there have been high 
ductility electro-deposited foils, and some variations of double treated 
foils. Additionally, some of the end users are specifying wrought alloy 
foils. All of these materials have no current "class" or category in 
which they fit. For that reason, and the fact that after 5+ years it is 
time to clean up the specification, the IPC-MF-150 task group is being 
reinstated. It will meet on Sunday March 9 from 1:00 to 6:00, and 
Monday March 10 from 3:15 to 5:00 at the IPC Printed Circuits EXPO in San 
Jose. All interested parties are welcome to attend. Please contact Jon 
Holmen ([log in to unmask]), at IPC or the committee chairman Dave 
McGowan, ([log in to unmask]), for further information.
