The wire harness industry is constantly evolving with new technology and practices. The 2024 WHMA Annual Global Leadership Summit offers the tools you need to help your business succeed in this fast-changing landscape. WHMA's Annual Global Leadership Summit (formerly the WHMA Annual Conference) is a networking event for executives representing wire harness manufacturers, OEMs and suppliers for companies that build wiring harnesses and cable assemblies.
Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo (EWPTE)
Produced by WHMA/IPC, the ONLY trade association exclusively representing the cable and wire harness manufacturing industry including manufacturers, their suppliers and customers, EWPTE is where the industry comes together with more than 3,000 attendees and nearly 200 exhibitors to find solutions to challenging wire problems through training and education and for the opportunity to network with industry leaders and subject matter experts. Attendees at all career stages can expect to Harness the Future through:
Bottom termination components (BTCs) are becoming increasingly common in assemblies due to their low cost and high performance. There are varying types of BTCs in the electronics industry, such as QFN, SOIC, and LGA, all of which are typical on assemblies. The defining characteristic of these components is that the terminations are flat on the bottom, therefore relying on solder paste to make the component to board connection. This means that the height of the solder is primarily determined by the volume of solder paste and the finished assembly might not have visible solder joints to inspect. As you can imagine, this makes BTCs very challenging to inspect, often leading to X-ray analysis for process control.
Are you using BTCs on your assembly?
Looking to understand the inspection process of BTCs?
Having trouble inspecting your BTC?
In this webinar we will take a deep dive into the inspection of Bottom Termination Components utilizing visual, X-ray and cross section analysis.
