Dear readers,

Putting together this SMT issue of OnBoard Technology was a real treat – rarely have I had the pleasure of reading such a high number of quality contributions coming from experts of the PCB fabrication and assembly industries. Which of course makes me very eager to share them with you.

To start out, we’ll revisit a topic we’ve touched on before, but with an exciting new twist. I’m talking about Moulded Interconnect Devices. By combining mechanical and electrical functions on a single component, MIDs can reduce the size of electronic products – mobile phones, for example. However, when we try to reduce the size of MIDs, we discover that some of the polymer substrates which are suitable for macro-MIDs are not suitable for micro-MIDs. Read inside this full investigation coming from the University of Denmark.
