American Standard Circuits Focuses on Education with 77 Second Webinars

Reading time ( words)

American Standard Circuits has launched an ongoing bite size series 77 Second Webinars and other educational videos on YouTube, featuring pertinent PCB topics like controlled impedance, buried resisters, and flex technologies as well as series focused on RF and thermal products.

The purpose of these videos is to educate and inform those interested in learning more about various technologies of the PCB industry. They are especially effective for PCB buyers and those who are entering the market for the first time.

President and CEO Anaya Vardya commented, “We have always felt that it is our duty to pass on the knowledge and experience our accomplished team has gained over the years with the rest of the industry. A few years ago, we launched a complete educational program that includes downloadable e-books, our Wednesday Webinars, a monthly column with I-Connect007 and now our series of educational videos on YouTube. We are dedicated to an industry that has been very good to our team. This is our way of giving back.”

Some of the subjects we are covering:

• RF Thermal Management
• Embedded Capacitance
• Cavity Construction
• Via Fill
• Flexible Solder Mask
• The Kitchen Sink Board

Be sure to check out these topics and more on the ASC YouTube channel (search American Standard Circuits) and visit our website to learn more about Wednesday Webinars.

David Thomas, master IPC trainer at EPTAC, says that the more you understand the work and technology that go into your processes and products, the better you can serve your customers. That includes knowing the basics.

Ever since liquid photoimageable solder masks (LPISMs) were introduced, their UV exposure speed has been a key factor in their performance. The LPISM is coated onto the PCB, dried, and then selectively exposed with UV light via a phototool, or more recently, via direct imaging using LED or lasers. The exposed areas polymerise and become insoluble in the developing solution. The polymerisation is initiated by one or more chemicals called photoinitiators, which are components of the LPISM.

Widely believed to be the traditional Centre of England, Meriden was a popular venue for a gathering of the UK printed circuit community this month. They braved the forecast of heavy snow for the Institute of Circuit Technology’s annual general meeting to learn about current developments and challenges in a thought-provoking technical seminar and to network with industry peers and contemporaries. Thankfully, the forecasted heavy snowfall did not reach Meriden until after the event; we only had a few flurries, although the weather caused considerable disruption elsewhere in the country.
