Würth Elektronik organized the "WE meet @ digital days 2020" from December 1st to 3rd, starting from 8:00 to 18:00 o'clock per day. A total of 30 digital live presentations took place, hosted by Würth Elektronik experts for electronic & electromechanical components. The hosts shared insights into current challenges and trends in electronics design as well as information on new solutions and components. With more than 2,300 participants, the virtual conference proved to be a successful way of staying in touch digitally with customers, interested parties and developers from a wide range of industries. Questions were answered live via a chat function or subsequently by e-mail.
The international composition of the participants at Würth Elektronik's event showed how much the new forms of communication and meetings with their efficiency are appreciated: More than 2,300 participants from almost all regions of the world - from Europe, the USA, India, China, other Asian countries, Africa, the Middle East and other regions - were selected. The presentations from the divisions Passive & Electromechanical Components, Power Modules & Optoelectronics, Automotive, Frequency Products as well as Wireless Connectivity & Sensors clearly showed the speakers' enthusiasm for their respective fields: One participant described the contributions of the experts, some of whom were connected from their home offices, as "very personal video conferences with people who know their way around". Many developers used the chat function to get answers to specific questions from current projects. Among the conference visitors' favorites by number of participants were the topics "How cable and PCB ferrites can help to avoid EMC problems", "EMC filters - from component to design" or "Board level shielding and the treatment of common mode interference in new high frequency technologies."
Thomas Schrott, CEO of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group, is impressed by the event: "These times bring many challenges - the loss of personal contacts at trade fairs is one of them. The virtual conference is a way to communicate innovations and thus open up new design possibilities for developers".
"Consulting and design-in support are part of our service. The technical presentations showed how great the interest is in the electronics market", says Alexander Gerfer, CTO at the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group, and Thomas Wild, CFO at the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group, adds: "The reactions showed how important know-how transfer is and how the topics hit the nerve of many developers. My thanks go to the team that selected the topics and organized the digital conference".

SMTA’s Conducts First UHDI Symposium
03/29/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineSMTA’s first UHDI Symposium in Peoria, Arizona, on Tuesday, March 26 featured a standout full-day technical program with 11 separate presentations on what will be required for our companies to move to ultra HDI manufacturing. The event was the brainchild of Tara Dunn, SMTA director of training and education. It included a compelling and collaborative presentation by David Haboud of Altium, John Johnson of American Standards Circuits, and Chrys Shea of Shea Engineering, who had spent the past several weeks creating and building an appropriate SMT test board vehicle for UHDI, something that was passed around for all conference goers to see and touch.
PCBflow Helps Designers Choose Best Manufacturer for the Job
03/28/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineI recently spoke with a few technologists who have first-hand experience with PCBflow: Susan Kayesar, technical product manager with Siemens; Evgeny Makhline, CTO of Nistec, a CEM based in Israel; and Peter Tranitz, senior director of technology solutions and leader of the IPC Design Initiative. They explain how PCBflow functions, from the designer’s and manufacturer’s viewpoint, and how this database helps break down the wall between these stakeholders.
Elementary, Mr. Watson: Ensuring Design Integrity
03/28/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonBack in February, many of us watched the "Big Game." It reminded me of the saying, “It's not how you start that is important, but rather how you finish." It is perfectly okay when you are talking about sports, you get off to a bad first half and need to recover in the second half. However, when it comes to PCB design, this is not a good practice. If things start badly, they usually don't recover. They continue down that same path, costing more money and losing design time.
