TAIWAN - Notebook PCB supplier HannStar Board has reportedly suspended its investment plans in Vietnam. Citing inadequacies in the local government infrastructure as the reason for the decision, HannStar Board will now look to China for its expansion, with preference for locations near Shanghai and Nanjing, according to company sources. The company reportedly will also increase manufacturing space in its current China plant by over 1 million square feet for PCB manufacturing, and 50,000 square feet for HDI board manufacturing later this year. The company also reports that it will also increase production capacity in its Taiwan plants by 100,000 square feet.

Sensor Products Introduces Tactilus Heat-Sink Analysis System
Tactilus heat-sink analysis system enables test and correction of surface contact and pressure distribution between the heat sink and its source. Can visualize actual contact forces and pressure distribution data on the components. As mounting screws between the CPU and the heat sink are torqued, it maps and measures the changing pressure distribution between the mating surfaces and displays it. Can be tested, manipulated, and repositioned in real-time. Provides pressure data needed for FEA simulation predictions. Is 0.015" thick; can be placed between the CPU and heat sink without affecting...

EMS’ Rude Awakening
Can high-mix, low-volume production succeed in China? You bet. In the 1970s, if you set up a contract manufacturing shop in a good location, customers eventually would walk through the doors. In the real world, things quickly changed for American companies, as OEMs, driven by maximizing shareholder value, searched for cheaper sources offshore. The first options were Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. After prices increased in these countries, greener pastures were found in China....
