Panel of Experts

The Custers
Year end assessment: the path to recovery
Fortunately even the most conservative most prognosticators now see at least a subdued "recovery" in 2010.
Bob Willis
Stencil cleaning options and board wash–offs

Inevitably all stencils need to be cleaned to remove solder paste residues from the surface of the foil and from the apertures to prevent it drying and giving missed/incomplete prints.

Joe Fjelstad
Pushing out the limits of pick and place

Miniaturization creates significant challenges to the existing infrastructure, and in many ways, pick and place technology has become a roadblock to a range of potential technical options that are not readily realizable with what is available today.

Werner Engelmaier
Update on lead–free solder joint reliability

The reliability of lead-free solder joints has been addressed in previous Global SMT & Packaging columns to the extent possible at that time.
