> Biography:
> Russ Griffith has been involved with the design, fabrication, and
> assembly of printed circuit boards since 1971 with special emphasis on
> flexible and rigid-flex printed wiring technology. He is presently a
> technical sales engineer for Tyco Printed Circuit Group and his
> experience includes, Sr. Design engineer for Hughes Aircraft Co.;
> Engineering Mgr. For Interconics / Cirtel; and Director of Engineering
> for Dynaco Corp.
>   He is a participating member of IPC (The Institute For
> Interconnecting And Packaging Electronic Circuits) , IEPS
> (International Electronics Packaging Society), SMTA (Surface Mount
> Technology Association), and DESC Industry Blue Ribbon Committees. He
> has assisted in the writing and maintenance of Mil-P-50884,
> Mil-Std-2118, Mil-P-RRRRR, and IPC-FC material specifications. He is
> presently committee chairman for the new IPC flexible circuit design
> standard, IPC-2223 and committee co-chairman for the new IPC flexible
> circuit performance specification, IPC-6013.
>   Russ has been involved with the development of flexible and
> rigid-flex products for High-layer count, High density, Bookbinders,
> High speed signal, and Pressure contact technologies. He has published
> numerous papers on the use of flexible and rigid-flex circuitry for
> electronic packaging in IPC, Electronic Packaging and Production, and
> Printed Circuit Fabrication. He is also a volunteer instructor for IPC
> Rigid/flex Workshops for the past several years.
