APEX Shows Industry Leaping out of Recession
Bannockburn, IL — Papers being presented at this year’s IPC APEX EXPO® Technical Conference, April 12-14, 2011 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas include new research and innovations from industry experts around the world. The Technical Conference will cover more than 30 technical topics to provide the indus- try with practical solutions and new opportunities for the future. Over two-and-a-half days, 35 sessions with nearly 100 research papers will be presented on topics such as counter- feiting, lead-free reliability, embedded devices, environmental issues, high speed/RF, moisture and laminates, solar power, and sustainability.
In addition, soldering processes,
head-on-pillow defects, design, relia- bility and stencil printing are the sub- jects of multiple sessions because of the wealth of new information avail- able. “Lead-free processes and higher temperatures continue to challenge the industry on a number of fronts. One of the great advantages of IPC APEX EXPO is the chance to network and find solutions from multiple levels of the supply chain,” says IPC Technical Conference Director Greg Munie, Ph.D.
