SANTA CLARA, CA - Sierra Proto Express next week will roll out what it calls the "first true lead-free PCBs guaranteed not to fail in process or use."

The maker of quickturn prototype PCBs will put discuss its methods next week at the Printed Circuit Board Design Conference West, in Santa Clara.

In the seminar, the company says it will cover compliance with Europe's RoHS initiative for electronics products, and fabrication of high reliability PCBs intended for extreme environments and life-sensitive applications. The boards, Sierra Proto says, can withstand up to 2000 cycles of -45˚ to 145˚C.

The seminar will review the needs associated with lead-free printed circuits and discuss materials suitable for meeting the lead-free directives. The seminar also provides a new solution for boards for space, aeronautical, military, transportation, medical, and oil exploration applications.

The seminars will take place during PCB Design Conference West in the exhibits area each day of the show.
