TPP Intros Conflict Minerals Reporting
Fort Walton Beach, FL — Total Parts Plus’ Compliance Management Mod- ule (CMM) will provide identifica- tion, reporting, and due diligence ca- pabilities to meet the new SEC re- quirement for products containing conflict minerals. Adhering to the requirement
will present a number of challenges specific to data gathering, tracking, and reporting that will be both com- plex and time-consuming. CMM users will be able to sub-
mit Bills of Materials through TPP’s data services and identify the pres- ence of the metals in question: tin,
tungsten, tantalum, or gold. The database also provides supporting documents such as statements from the supplier regarding the metals’ origin and due diligence processes. As the electronics industry
works toward conflict-sensitive sour - cing practices, TPP will continue to evolve its conflict minerals reporting capabilities to stay current with in- dustry standards. Contact: Total Parts Plus, 709

and cost-effective etch, desmear and surface activation treatment of flexi- ble printed circuit boards (PCBs). The award, presented by Print-
ed Circuit Design & Fab magazine, was determined by judging criteria that included innovation, cost effec- tiveness, environmental friendliness, ease-of-use, speed, throughput, de- sign and performance. The FlexVIA Plasma System is
used during PCB manufacture to uniformly treat the inner surface lay-
gy the system does not require the use of temperature control, a blower, or expensive fluorine gases. Environ- mentally friendly and cost-effective gas plasma solutions, such as argon
(Ar) and oxygen (O2), are utilized to maximize cost savings. Contact: Nordson MARCH,
