The 17th annual CARTS-Europe conference will take place from 27th to 30th October 2003 in Stuttgart, Germany.

The 17th annual CARTS-Europe conference will take place from 27th to 30th October 2003 in Stuttgart, Germany.

The keynote speaker, Robert Dickinson, President of California Micro Devices, will address the issue: "Are discrete passives an endangered species?".

The 2003 CARTS-Europe conference will emphasise automotive and harsh environments applications.

An invited paper on the reliability of lead-free solder in low temperature use will be presented.

Other papers on capacitors and resistors, performance, construction and raw materials are scheduled for presentation over the three-day conference.

A special market forecast seminar will be presented by Shawn Woods of iSuppli, the world leader on electronic market intelligence.

The seminar will discuss trends and technology in the passive components market and provide a forecast.

An additional seminar will highlight trends and new technology for passive components.

Topics presented at the seminar are integrated passives, MEMs, the impact of nanotechnology on passives, the use of copper for base metal electrode terminations and more.

CARTS (the Capacitor and Resistor Technology Symposium) is the only conference devoted 100% to the technology of passive components.
