 |
This book was written to furnish information about the evolution of packages and how to use them to design advance level products. The first section of this book serves as an introduction to the technologies available for designers. Section 2 presents important information about designing including information about boards and assembly. Section 3 is all about flex circuitry materials. Flex will play a major role in future solutions. Section 4 explains about land patterns. Section 5 is design for manufacturability. Section 6 is documentation for assembly and fabrication. Take your time and read through this publication. It is loaded with insight and should help you in your next generation designs. Table of Contents. |

James C. Blankenhorn is President and founder (1985) of SMT Plus Inc., located in Scotts Valley, California. His experience in SMT began as Vice President of Design and Prototyping for AWI, the first SMT subcontract design and assembly firm for SMT from 1983-1985. His work established many of the design guidelines and processes used in the SMT industry today. Mr. Blankenhorn sold the design and assembly operations to and was General Manager and Vice President of Design for Jabil Circuit from 1988-1991, setting up multiple design centers and managing prototype assembly. Mr. Blankenhorn returned to SMT Plus to direct its activities. Having identified the growing needs of industry for education, SMT Plus has emerged since 1996 as a leader in the production of advanced multimedia technical training products and development tools for the SMT and telecommunications industries. Prior to his involvement with SMT, Mr. Blankenhorn was a MOS designer for Motorola and TI and product line manager for memory and microprocessors for Honeywell for 8 years. For 3 years thereafter he was involved in startups in IC packaging, test and burn-in as General Manager for Test International and Vice President of Sales for IC Link.
Mr. Blankenhorn is an active member of the SMTA, a co-founder of the SMTA in 1984, recipient of the 1996 Founders Award for Distinguished Service, and served twice as technical chairman for the Silicon Valley SMTA chapter. He is a speaker at conferences worldwide and has authored over twenty books on SMT design, packaging, and processing. He holds a BSEE degree from Arizona State University and is listed in Who's Who in America.
