January 2012 Chapter Training Program

Material Properties and How They Affect Electronic Devices

PRESENTED BY
Brian J. Toleno, Ph.D.
Henkel

PRESENTATION ABSTRACT
Adhesives, polymers, and soldering materials play an important role in manufacturing electronic devices. When looking at a technical data sheet for these materials it is important to understand how the properties defined on these data sheets affect the performance and reliability of the final end product. Furthermore, understanding how these properties are measured and what can and should be compared between data sheets. We will also look at how the process conditions play a role in these properties. We will discuss properties such as glass transition temperature (Tg), coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), modulus, decomposition temperature (Td) and other material terms often used in technical data sheets. Attendees are encouraged to bring example technical data sheets and/or questions for discussion.
After this training course attendees will have a better understanding of how these material properties affect reliability performance, the relationship between process and properties and understand what properties can be compared between data sheets.
We will then apply what had been discussed to look at one specific type of adhesives used in surface mount technology - Methods and Selection of Circuit Board Protection. We will discuss the differences between potting, conformal coating, and other methods of protecting printed circuit boards and the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.

SPEAKER PROFILE
Brian J. Toleno, Ph.D. is the Director of Technical Service and Application Engineering for Henkel in Irvine, California.

An Important Southern California Event

The IPC and the LA/OC SMTA Chapter will co-host the 2012 Golf Outing during IPC-APEX/EXPO Sunday, February 26, 2012 at the beautiful Coronado Bay Golf Course on Coronado Island. The Coronado Golf Course is nested in the serene, upscale island beach community of Coronado, just minutes from bustling downtown San Diego. The course is considered by many as one of the premier municipal golf courses in the country and was rated Four Stars by Golf Digest "Best Places to Play", 10 out of 10 by the San Diego Union-Tribune, and Best Value in Southern California by GREENSKEEPER.org for 2010. The course has four holes situated along beautiful Glorietta Bay, views of the famous Hotel Del Coronado, Coronado Bay Bridge and the San Diego Skyline.

The IPC and the LA/OC SMTA Chapter are co-hosting this event due to its proximity and as a great networking event. We have very successfully co-hosted, for many years, the Annual Golf Get-Together which has helped to support many IPC and SMTA activities. In 2011 we donated $1000 to two local after-school programs in Santa Ana and Long Beach. It is our goal to donate a portion of our revenue again to these two deserving programs.

We need your help in 2012 as a player and as a sponsor. Please consider putting a foursome together and registering on the IPC Website. (See links and path below).

Early Registration would be greatly appreciated. Please complete the attached registration form and fax it directly to the number shown on the registration form.

We look forward to seeing you on the 26th of February.

Best Regards,
Dick Crowe and Scott Penin

Chapter Dinner Meeting

Modifiable Silicones for Harsh Environments

PRESENTED BY
Vincent Malave
Technical Sales
NuSil Technology

PRESENTATION ABSTRACT
Widely known for their ability to maintain elastomeric properties over a wide temperature range, silicones have been used for decades in aerospace and other harsh environments where temperature extremes are common. These siloxane-based polymeric systems can absorb stresses during thermal cycling and resist degradation at continuous operating temperatures up to 300 C. An added benefit of silicone materials is their ability to incorporate a variety of filler types that can impart such properties as electrical conductivity at elevated temperatures. Understanding the opportunities and limitations of silicones and various fillers allows the engineer to choose the best options available for maximum material performance in harsh environments.

SPEAKER PROFILE

Vincent Malavé is the Southern West Coast Technical Sales Person at NuSil Technology, LLC, a global manufacturer of silicone-based materials for the electronics, photonics, aerospace, and healthcare industries.
Vincent has been with NuSil Technology since 2001 specializing in the growth and development of silicones in electronic packaging and aerospace applications. He maintains business relationships with several Fortune 500 aerospace and defense contractors. Vincent has authored and presented several technical papers at various conferences nationwide. He is an active member of SMTA.
