Description
The SMT Step-by-Step Series columns are a mainstay for surface mount assembly readers. Written by prominent industry leaders, each column addresses a critical 'step' in the manufacturing process, from the initial design stages through final rework. This technology-driven series represents the most advanced research and creative solutions for one of the most complex and capital intensive industries in the world economy.
In addition to the step series, SMT also includes its lead-free series of columns published in 2005. As the world prepares for lead-free manufacturing and the enactment of the Restrictions on Hazardous Materials directive, massive changes are happening for the surface mount assembly sector. The inclusion of these articles represents a year's worth of counsel, technology and research at a critical time for the industry.
