August 2016 

Dear Electronics Colleague:

Over the summer, our family was at 3 different county fairs - I should be running for office, or raising hens, pigs, or rabbits; so I can bring home the ribbons! 

Don't forget to attend SMTAI on September 25 - 29, 2016! We are launching a new workshop on PCB inspection and will be delivering a paper on BGA rework challenges. To learn more about the conference, click here. Hope to see you there!

Best regards,

Bob Wettermann

Product Highlight - 

Gold Contact Replating Kit

If you have solder contaminated contacts, contacts that don't meet the minimum thickness specification or damaged gold edge contacts, then this is the PCB repair kit for you. 

The BEST gold contact plating kit includes everything you need for fine select pen plating and brush plating 24K gold onto electronic contact surfaces. The gold solution included will produce a cobalt hardened 24K - Type 1 & 2, grade C gold deposit. This is the gold we use for electronic and technical applications where durability, conductivity, and solderability is important.
