Jersey City, NJ – Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials had 23 applications engineers trained and certified as IPC Specialists in May.
“At Cookson Electronics, we are focused on helping our customers meet their electronic assembly objectives by providing them with innovative assembly products and the highest possible level of technical assistance,” said Steve Brown, director – Global Applications Technology. “We train and certify our field applications engineers to the IPC Standards which are used globally by our customers. This is especially important as they transition to lead-free processes in response to the RoHS requirements.
The standards covered during the training session were IPC J-STD-001 Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies and IPC-A-610D Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies.

Minneapolis, MN -- The SMTA is again co-locating SMTA International with the Assembly Tech Expo this September in Rosemont, IL. The program will consist of over 100 technical papers, 26 tutorials and special symposiums on Contract Manufacturing, Staying Competitive and Lead-Free Soldering Technology, as well as various free events.
The technical sessions are organized into tracks on Manufacturing and Assembly, Advanced Packaging, Substrates, RoHS, and Process Control.
Full- and half-day educational courses will focus on Manufacturing and Assembly, Advanced Packaging, Substrates, Soldering, Test/Inspection/Quality, and Process Control.
The Emerging Technologies Summit will feature sessions on Packaging Space: Nano to Outer, Wireless Technology and Using RFID to Add Value to Your Products and Services. It will conclude with an Emerging Technologies Panel.
The Contract Manufacturing Symposium will consist of two paper sessions: Exploring the Dollars and Sense of EMS and EMS Program Management. The Lead-free Symposium will feature paper sessions on the Joint Council on Aging Aircraft/ Joint Group on Pollution Prevention Lead-Free Solder Project, Lead-Free Manufacturing Experiences and Lead-Free Industry Standards, Lead-Free Fatigue, and Accelerated Life Testing for Lead-Free Solder Joints.
A new Symposium on Staying Competitive in the Global Market will address how to improve your competitive position in your market. The emphasis is on North American issues related to cost, productivity, automation, finance and quality.
Free events include:
The Opening session: What’s Next? Global RoHS and Emerging Technologies
Future Directions for Packaging
NPI and Rapid Setup Aid time to Market
iNEMI Roadmaps
Standards Update
Emerging Technologies
Selecting the Right Lead-Free Cleaning Process
