Code: EP30 Contents of this page:Description ***NEW FEATURE***
DescriptionThe printed board assembly is still the keystone of a majority of circuit realisations and correct, cost-effective design and production are essential if reliable assemblies are to be obtained at optimum cost. To achieve this aim an understanding of all aspects of assembling and joining techniques is of paramount importance. This is the only book to cover in a practical manner all facets of the design and manufacture of printed board assemblies, from inception to final completion. Because of the amount of detail provided, it has been found necessary to divide the text into two volumes, the first covering components, assembly techniques and design, the second covering manufacture of printed boards of all types, quality assurance, cleaning and the environment, and marketing and product costing. Volume 1 describes conventional (pin-in-hole) and surface mounting components and their packages before going on to discuss manual and automatic methods of assembly in considerable depth. Only then are the principles of design and layout of circuits set out. The importance of paying careful attention to thermal management of the design is stressed. The first volume finishes with a section which comprises five chapters on soldering and joining — almost a book in itself. Volume 2 begins with a section that describes in a number of separate chapters the materials and basic methods for fabricating printed boards. The next section in this volume covers the different types of circuit board and gives their manufacturing outlines. Contamination control, effluent, environmental problems arising from electronics assembly and occupational health are the subjects of the chapters in the third section. Section 4 deals with quality assurance, testing and training and education and the volume concludes with a discussion of marketing and financial matters. Written by authorities drawn from a worldwide pool of expertise, this book will be a valuable reference source to designers, producers and users of printed board assemblies. About the editorThis book is edited by Bill MacLeod Ross who is also a major contributor. Mr Ross has extensive experience of materials, process technology and quality assurance and control in the electronics industry, having spent over 30 years in senior positions in that industry. For the past few years, he has been managing director and chief consultant for a company specialising in quality assurance, including setting up ISO 9000 quality systems, and problem solving in the industry. A graduate of London University, Mr Ross is a Fellow of the Institute of Quality Assurance, of the Institute of Metal Finishing and of the Institute of Circuit Technology (of which he is a founder member). He participates in the work of several trade association and BSI committees relevant to the electronics industry and is an active member and supporter of the PCIF. Mr Ross has contributed to several text books and has written many technical articles and papers. Table of Contents
Some Worldwide Reviews"Many readers will be familiar with the blockbusters TV movie that is broadcast in two parts due to the amount of subject matter being too large for digestion in one viewing. In similar vein, the amount of information contained within the pages of ‘A Comprehensive Guide to the Design and Manufacture of Printed Board Assemblies’ has been wisely committed to two volumes, each a self-contained book but nevertheless complementary to the other volume." ... "In summary, this is a magnificent reference book which will appeal to all members of the electronics interconnection industry from shop floor to boardroom. Mr Ross and the contributing authors deserve hearty congratulations for the style and contents of this excellent volume." Circuit World (UK)
