Assembly & SMTA handbook written with BTU expertise
Published by the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA), “Handbook of Electronic Assembly and a Guide to SMTA Certification” provides an in-depth understanding of the entire electronic assembly process. BTU International announce that Fred Dimock, Manager, Process Technology, BTU, contributed to the new handbook.
Originally was conceived as a supplement to the SMTA Certification Program, the book has a special focus on helping those new to the industry develop competence in the technology.
Chapter topics include soldering and materials, printed wiring boards, components, paste-print stencil, component placement, assembly line design and optimisation, solder reflow, wave soldering, dispensing, and inspection and test. Each chapter outlines the fundamental attributes of critical assembly processes providing full-colour images and diagrams to illustrate real-world applications.

James Hall, ITM Consulting; Katherine Hickey and Jennifer Tate, Ph.D., Dartmouth College, wrote and organised the book over a span of several years.
