Fundamentals of SMT Product Design
 |
For those that are new to SMT or unsure about many of the aspects of SMT, this is an excellent source of information. This book covers in-depth all the topics that pertain to SMT designing. Included is information that is useful to both those new to SMT as well as those trying to convert existing through hole technology designs to SMT. There are lots of changes from through hole to SMT. With a thorough understanding of the basics provided in this book the reader will be able to completely understand and master SMT technology.
The basics learned in this manual are the heart of "design for manufacturability" which is so important today. We must have designs that are easy to assemble and test. The design group will learn how to set up libraries and begin their designs. Coupled with knowledge about the impact of design on manufacturability, the manufacturing group will learn the basics of the process, terms, equipment, and common sequences of assembly. Don't learn by making the same mistakes as others. This manual pays for itself many
times by prevention of those common mistakes. |
This book will be of immense value to both circuit designers as well as CAD designers, and those involved in product testing, fabrication, troubleshooting and debug of products.

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.
