MEETING OF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND CHAPTER OF THE IPC DESIGNERS COUNCIL Date: Tuesday, the 3rd of February, 2004 Where: Connies in Derby Time: Networking 6:00pm Topic: Part 1- Lead Free Electronic Manufacturing and Design We begin the new year with the first of a three part series on Lead Free electronic assemblies. There has been much controversy surrounding lead free initiatives that are being invoked worldwide. Part 1 will give us an opportunity to look at the major issues facing design, fabrication and assembly. Once we have identified these issues, the next meeting (Part 2), will have a panel of suppliers discussing lead free materials such as fluxes, solders, board and component lead finishes, to name a few. Part 3 will conclude this series with a panel representing the component, assembly and fabrication industries. The series is intended for all segments of product development addressing the needs of designers, assemblers and fabricators. Speaker: Gary Ferrari (Ferrari Technical Services), Happy Holden (Westwood Associates) and John Quigley (Tech Circuits) will be moderating the Part 1 discussion.
