IPC PRESENTS UPCOMING CONFERENCE/WORKSHOPS COMING TO THE EAST COAST REGISTER TODAY! IPC 3rd International Conference on Embedded Technology Chelmsford , MA May 2-4, 2006 http://www.ipc.org/calendar/2006/EmbTech_0506/ETConf_Boston_506.htm <http://www.ipc.org/calendar/2006/EmbTech_0506/ETConf_Boston_506.htm> This conference will focus on successful implementations, new materials and processes, and market trends of embedded passice technology. Everything you need to know about this important technology will be discussed. Printed Board Fabrication Process Chelmsford, MA May 9, 2006 - 8:30a.m.-11:30a.m. http://www.ipc.org/calendar/2006/PCBProcess_0506/PCBprocess_0506.htm This course will provide a detailed description of the board fabrication process with a special look at how specific design decisions affect the manufacturability of the printed board. Actual panels, taken from each step of the manufacturing process, will be reviewed and discussed. EMI and EMC for the Design Engineer Chelmsford, MA May 9, 2006 - 1:00pm.-4:00p.m. http://www.ipc.org/calendar/2006/PCBProcess_0506/PCBprocess_0506.htm This workshop provides ways to prevent common EMI/EMC problems with power supplies, cables, connectors, slots, ground planes, and more. The focus is on EMI and RFI issues on PCBs as well as relevant EMI regulations in the U.S., the European Union, and Asia. Grounding to Control Noise and EMI May 11, 2006 - Chelmsford, MA - 8:30a.m. - 11:30 a.m. http://www.ipc.org/calendar/2006/HighSpeed_506/EMI_HighSpeed_0506.htm This course is an introduction to the concepts needed in high speed circuit and printed circuit design on how to 'ground' a circuit for proper operation, to minimize noise and EMI. Materials for High Speed & High Frequency PC Board Design May 11, 2006 - Chelmsford, MA - 1:00p.m. - 4:00 p.m. http://www.ipc.org/calendar/2006/HighSpeed_506/EMI_HighSpeed_0506.htm In a high speed or high frequency circuit, performance is dependent upon a number of characteristics and variables. They all accumulate to affect the noise budget of the circuit. Many of these issues are driver from the PC Board's base material characteristics. At high frequencies materials can and do have a profound impact on performance. RoHS Compliance "Back to the Basics" May 15, 2006 - Tampa, FL May 17, 2006 - Chelmsford, MA http://www.ipc.org/calendar/2006/IntroRoHS_LaunchMD_0506/IntroRohs_Launc hMD_506.htm Get up to speed on all the essential information about the European Union's restrictions on lead and other hazardous substances. Find out what's prohibited under the EU Restriction on Hazardous Substance Directive. How to Launch Your Very Own IPC-1752 Materials Content Declaration, Program May 16, 2006 - Tampa, FL May 18, 2006 - Chelmsford, MA http://www.ipc.org/calendar/2006/IntroRoHS_LaunchMD_0506/IntroRohs_Launc hMD_506.htm This workshop will offer an intermediate level of training in IPC-1752 Materials Content reporting best practices and procedures. Although the course assumes a very basic level of understanding of the IPC-1752-1 and 1752-2 formats, the morning sessions will review the formats and go through a few strategic exercises. The afternoon session will focus on how apply the materials declaration process to real-life situations. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 -----------------------------------------------------
