We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electronic assemblies",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Programme released for electronics show from
European Trade and Exhibition Services, which we summarised at the time by saying "This year's Southern Electronic seminar programme delivers insight into the legislative and business environment facing electronics enterprise today".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Platform allows fast digital testing from
Rohde and Schwarz: "The R and S TS-PHDT high-speed digital test module features a maximum data rate of 40MHz and a storage capacity of 1.5Gbyte".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Verdant Electronics
concerning its Reverse-order interconnection process
- take a look at Interconnection process promises a revolution
which says: "An 'evolutionary' technology for both printed circuit boards and PCB assemblies promises to dramatically improve the way electronic products are made".
Take a look also at the news release from HumiSeal Europe, UV curing products receive new certification,
as well as Epoxy potting compounds save more weight from Bright Enterprises,
and Backshells banish EMI problems from Omnetics Connector Corp.
