American Standard Circuits Introduces New Book: Fundamentals of Printed Circuit Board Technologies

Reading time ( words)

Anaya Vardya, president and CEO of American Standard Circuits, has introduced their new downloadable book. The book, called Fundamentals of Printed Circuit Board Technologies, covers all aspects of printed circuit technologies from the very basic single- and double-sided boards all the way to HDI microvias and flex/rigid-flex printed circuit boards.

When making the announcement, Vardya said, “We want this book to be a much more comprehensive survey of all aspects of printed circuit board technology. We started with an exclusive arrangement with the authors of The PCB 101 Handbook, Robert Tarzwell and Dan Beaulieu, and together we wrote a more comprehensive version of their original book, adding another fifty pages or so of information. Our intention was for this book to not only help newcomers to our industry, but also to be useful to the more experienced veterans in our field. One of the strongest reasons we had for writing the book was as a service to our industry and a way of giving back. We also wanted to provide a book to be used as a training tool for all the new people coming into our industry.”

Fundamentals of Printed Circuit Board Technologies is available for download right now on American Standard’s website, located here, free of charge.

Every industry has a beginning, and we are lucky to have Rex Rozario here to share the story of how the printed circuit board industry got its start. I-Connect007 chatted with Rex recently about how he became involved with circuit board inventor Dr. Paul Eisler.

Hot on the heels of the news that U.S. President Biden signed a presidential determination in support of the printed circuit board industry, I-Connect007’s Nolan Johnson spoke with David Schild, executive director of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America, about some of the expected implications. David points out, among other things, that this signals increased momentum with government and defense to support U.S.-based printed circuit manufacturing, and the possibility that a renewed interest in the industry by private financing could possibly follow.
