So, what are you doing on Thursday from 10:30 a.m.?
Conveyed well and comprehensibly.
Mansoor Ahmad, Bender GmbH & Co. KG
Informative and also repetitive, you should do it every year so that you are up to date again.
Michael Scheible, nVent Schroff GmbH
I think the lecture mode with alternating presenters and recordings from practice is very good. Thank you very much.
Achim Lübking, WAGO GmbH & Co. KG
Very well performed, pleasant to listen to.
Mathias Fend, OMICRON electronics GmbH

Seven in one go: design-to-cost recommendations for the printed circuit board
Did you know that there is a price difference of up to 81 % between changing from 18 to 35 µ copper foil in your assembly? In the PCB design phase, small details often have a significant impact on the manufacturing costs of the subsequent series product. But don't worry - Günter Fellhofer and Johann Hackl know all the tricks!

Smart Factory: Digital transformation at KSG
The versatility of the applications, their increasing circuit density and the ever smaller structures make the printed circuit board a complex product. From the first layer to the finished circuit board, its production requires many precise process steps. This can quickly involve up to 150 work steps. This naturally offers a lot of potential for digitalization and automation!
From intelligent PCB platforms and labeling to products that control systems - there are already successful tools and methods for making the process chain significantly more efficient. Find out exactly what this looks like in the day-to-day production of a PCB manufacturer with Robert Jungk and Stefan Hammerschmidt on an interactive tour of our two sites.

Perennial favorite base material: basics, properties and important selection criteria
Whether high layer SBU or simple multilayer: the base material is the foundation of the PCB and, at more than 30 %, accounts for a significant proportion of the manufacturing costs. There is certainly no lack of choice - because each material has special properties and therefore special areas of application. But what is really essential for my project? True to the motto "Balance Is the Key", Dirk Deiters and Matthias Stickel will show you how to strike a balance between must-have and nice-to-have.

Wish vs. reality? Future-proof radio frequency systems from Europe
In the first round, Matthias Stickel and Matthias Schmied welcome their guests Alexander Ippich, specialist for RF applications at Isola, and Dr.-Ing. Christian Tschoban, who works at the Fraunhofer Institute IZM in the field of signal and power integrity.
These focal points make HF hearts and frequencies beat faster:
The Higher Power - How to optimize your high-current printed circuit board
Modern power electronics rely on components such as high-performance LEDs, MOSFETs and IGBTs. At the center: the printed circuit board! As a multifunctional element, it masters high currents and ensures the cooling of high-clocked, heat-producing processors and heat-emitting power components.
Sophisticated high-current and thermal management on the PCB is therefore essential. In the next issue of XPERTS, Johann Hackl and Dirk Deiters will show you interactively and vividly how this can be optimally achieved in practice.

Between 3D integration and cost pressure - expert tips for cost-efficient 3D printed circuit boards
Are you faced with the challenge of assembling your electronics under difficult installation conditions and still have to adhere to tight budgets? Then three-dimensional PCBs could be your key to success. After all, these space-saving wonders are known for increasing packing density, reducing weight and system costs and increasing the reliability of the assembly. Look forward to a new issue of KSG XPERTS, in which Ralph Fiehler and Sebastian Seifert provide you with valuable tips and tricks for cost-efficient 3D PCBs.

From gigaohms to short circuits - PCBs in the CAF climate test
Miniaturization, higher circuit densities and environmental stresses are stress factors for the internal insulation properties of printed circuit boards. This makes it all the more important that processing, handling and cleaning are right. In another round from the quality lab, Dr. Swantje Frühauf and Holger Bönitz show you why PCBs fail in climate tests and what can be done to prevent CAF failures in particular.

HDI - Is it still possible? - Options for unbundling highly integrated components
The trend towards downsizing electronic assemblies and elements continues unabated and demands ever higher integration densities per PCB area. HDI circuits offer the solution with their highly compact track structures, tiny holes and microvias. But it is the small details that determine the feasibility and reliability of your design, especially in the tightest of spaces. At XPERTS, Thomas Doberitzsch and Dirk Deiters are dedicated to precisely these aspects.

Need for Speed - Success factors of a reliable HF printed circuit board
The desire for highly secure, reliable and ever faster data transmission is putting high-frequency and radar applications in the spotlight. It is therefore high time that we at KSG XPERTS took a closer look at this topic. After all, the PCB has a decisive influence on the functionality, costs and reliability of the assembly, from the choice of material to the layer structure and the HF-optimized layout.
