Ventec’s Martin Cotton to Present Paper on PCB Design Process at SMART Group European Conference
September 7, 2015 | Ventec EuropeEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec Europe, a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, today announced that Martin Cotton, Director OEM Technology, will present a paper entitled 'Making the right decisions at the right time in the PCB design process' at the 2015 SMART Group European Conference & Exhibition. The conference will be held on the 22-23rd September at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), one of the UK’s leading science and research facilities, located in Teddington, London.
In PCB design, a key decision influencing the process and the eventual outcomes (quality, yield, cost) is the selection of material, particularly when the PCB in question requires significant performance parameters to be met. Martin's presentation will highlight the processes that lead to successful design and will explore how errors can be avoided that lead to risk, potential problems and compromises.
Martin commented: 'Over two days, The SMART Group Conference & Exhibition offers delegates and key suppliers of materials, equipment and testing services the opportunity to meet, network and discuss the latest industry developments and trends. Ventec and the SMART Group have a strong history together and we are excited about our participation at this year's European Conference.'

Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?
