Can’t find “webtorial” in the dictionary? That’s because the concept was just implemented this summer by the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA). Adding another level of convenience and cost-reduction to the comprehensive learning opportunities known as tutorials, SMTA is making it even easier to get the latest training on the most important topics in the industry. Ray Prasad, Ray Prasad Consultancy Group will lead SMTA’s first webtorial, titled “Design and Assembly Challenges of Ball Grid Arrays (BGAs) and Bottom Terminations Components (BTCs)”, in two sessions on July 7 and 14, 2009.
The objective of this two session webinar is to identify the design and process issues in BGAs and BTC and the impact of lead free that must be resolved for an effective implementation of mixed assembly electronics products for both tin lead and lead free.
Just like a webinar, a webtorial takes advantage of instant communication via telephone and internet to simulate a tutorial. The attendee saves money with no travel fees and lower rates as well as time since the tutorial can be attended without leaving the office.

The term/concept of synergy seems very apt when applied to the
interaction of the Occam process solderless assembly concept in
combination with a unique PCB interconnection technology called twisted
wire interconnect or TWI. 
Fortunately even the most conservative most prognosticators now see at least a subdued “recovery” in 2010.
