Seminar: Avoiding Assembly Pitfalls – DFA/DFM Lessons for First PCB Runs by Keven Coates

Prototype PCBs often suffer from a 30% to 70% fail rate—don’t let yours be one of them!

Join us for this exclusive 3-hour seminar designed to teach you how to dramatically improve your PCB yield and ensure smoother assembly processes. This session focuses on practical, shop-driven insights that help you collaborate better with manufacturing and assembly teams to get your boards right the first time.

What you’ll learn:

Design for Manufacturing

  • BGA and component pad tips
  • Stencil and diode/LED issues
  • Panelization techniques & part stress reduction

Design for Assembly

  • Solder profile optimization
  • Managing thermal masses & selective soldering
  • Effective testing and inspection (AOI, X-ray)
  • ESD and PCB cleaning issues
