RTW IPC APEX EXPO 2019: Taiyo Discusses New Solder Masks and Photoimageables

Reading time ( words)

Donald Monn, Midwest regional sales manager for Taiyo America, turns the tables on I-Connect007 Technical Editor Pete Starkey and quizzes him about his knowledge of Taiyo's new crack-resistant white solder mask for automotive, and the company's standard photoimageables re-formulated for laser direct imaging (LDI) that avoid the need for UL requalification.

I have known the Ucamco people for over 30 years and recognise their company as an industry-leading provider of PCB CAM and pre-CAM software, as well as laser photoplotters and direct imaging systems. The team has always endeavoured to understand customer needs—often to anticipate them—and to respond with innovative solutions.

This is the first Electronic Circuits World Convention that I have not attended in person since 1978. To refresh your memory, these are held every three years on a rotating basis. The HKPCA hosted this year’s conference and they kept up the fine tradition of collecting outstanding keynotes, nearly 60 technical presentations and myriad poster papers. HKPCA was also kind enough to provide English slides and translations. It is still possible to sign up and view the presentations. I have listened to 20 of the presentations, and hope to attend even more in the coming days as they are all worth watching.
