Description

Over the past two decades, electronic packaging has become an accepted discipline in most electronic companies. Since the large majority of modern electronic assemblies are supported by either a rigid or flexible circuit, the correct assembling and soldering techniques are of paramount importance if low costs and reliability are to be achieved.

Despite the importance of PCB assembly, there is a noticeable lack of published literature on the subject and although a number of text books are now available on PCB manufacture, few of these publications are devoted to assembly. Consequently, the author’s primary aim was to rectify this situation with the result that this is the first reference book to treat the subject of assembly in depth. Furthermore, as all other aspects of printed circuits such as Design, Components, Quality Control and in particular, Manufacture — the latter being a book in itself — are covered in considerable detail, this Handbook must rank as one of the most comprehensive and important reference texts ever to be published in this field.

Some Worldwide Reviews

"This is more an encyclopedia than a handbook. It is jam packed with information which is vital for designers, producers and users of printed wiring boards and general modern electronic circuitry."

Metal Finishing (USA)

"For all those engaged in the PCB industry, whether as a manufacturer or user, this book is highly recommended and will undoubtedly become a standard reference work in this subject."

Electronic Production (UK)

"Unlike many books on printed circuits, the book is full of facts, all of which are based on obvious practical experience" ... "This is, undoubtedly, the best book in the reviewer’s opinion yet published. It has all the necessary practical information in one book and is therefore money well spent."

Microelectronics and Reliability (UK)

"The overall impression is that the technological chapters of this book are excellent" ... "the author has achieved a self-contained and ‘interconnected’ account of printed circuit board design, manufacture and component assembly which will surely make it a standard text for designers, production engineers, chemists and metallurgists who are engaged in this fast growing industry."

The Metallurgist and Materials Technologist (UK)

John Ruskin said, "All books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hour and the books of all time". In a world of rapidly developing technology this may no longer be completely true but "HANDBOOK of PRINTED CIRCUIT DESIGN MANUFACTURE, COMPONENTS and ASSEMBLY" by Giovanni Leonida is most certainly here to stay for a very long time ... The form and content of the book convey a strong impression of the interdependence of those involved at each stage of the design and manufacturing story. The fuller realisation of this fact alone would be ample justification for all the painstaking work involved. It does, of course, achieve much more than that: it will rapidly become a standard work of reference and will prove indispensable to all those concerned with the vital work of training within the electronics industry.
