DfR Solutions and Gold Circuit Electronics Form Alliance Print E-mail
Written by Tracy Heffner

COLLEGE PARK, MD and CHUNG LI, TaiwanDfR Solutions and Gold Circuit Electronics Ltd. (GCE) have formed a collaboration to develop analytical research into the advantages and limitations of current and future technology in printed board design and fabrication. 

The agreement calls for a joint research project every six months. The shortened time frame, compared to the one year standard in most research consortiums, will allow for more defined deliverables, quicker insertion of results into the marketplace and flexibility to better respond to customer needs. Initial research activities will focus on developing design for reliability rules for high-technology PCBs subjected to lead-free assembly.

"The accelerated complexity of printed circuit board design and the challenges of lead-free combined with the growing demand to improve reliability while driving down costs, make this an increasingly challenging time for manufacturers,” said Dr. Craig Hillman, CEO and managing partner of DfR Solutions. “This collaboration will enable DfR and GCE to combine our unique expertise and allow us to be on the forefront of research into ensuring quality and long-term reliability of printed board design and fabrication.”
