SMTA Dallas 2024 Photo Gallery

03/20/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 Magazine
This year marked the 21st SMTA Dallas in Plano, Texas. Having sold out their booth space once again, the Dallas electronics business community showed up with lots of energy and ready to do business. SMTA Dallas has grown from a small chapter event to one that is now on its 3rd venue and pushing the envelope on SMTA’s 100-exhibitor rule. Industry veteran Gary Tanel, SMTA Director of Membership and Dallas’ event manager, has a lot to be proud of.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

03/15/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 Magazine
It was a busy week in PCB design and manufacturing. This has been a pretty “dense” week, and this week’s Top Five features an article on density equations by Happy Holden, and a news item about the SMTA UHDI symposium in Phoenix. We also have news about our latest podcast, and a Chris Mitchell column about economic security here and abroad. And Todd Kolmodin discusses the ins and out of 4-wire Kelvin testing, and he tells us a little about Lord Kelvin himself.

The Christmas and New Year’s holidays made for much-appreciated off-time in the U.S. and Europe, but there was still a lot of good industry reading for all to enjoy. From Happy Holden’s influence on our youngest and brightest to the cost of rework, policy challenges ahead for European PCB and PCBA companies, to new faces in the industry—with some bonus R2-D2 thrown in for good measure—these articles are worth a few minutes of your time. Here are my picks from this past week in industry news and feature articles.

The New Chapter: My Review of Happy Holden’s ‘24 Essential Skills for Engineers’

01/03/2024 | Hannah Grace & Paige Fiet -- Column: The New Chapter
Happy Holden has been an inspiration to me since I first met him at IPC APEX EXPO a few years ago. He is the father of the modern-day HDI PCB and former CTO at Foxconn. In his book, 24 Essentials Skills for Engineers, Happy highlights the most important and viable skills for an engineer’s success. These skills and traits are ones he saw most frequently throughout his career. They matter for an engineer, no matter where they’re at in their career, from a new hire to a project manager, and I’m excited to review the ones that have resonated with me the most.
