Printed Circuit Design & Fab Magazine

Martin (Marty) Jawitz retired from Litton Guidance and Controls in 1998, but he never retired from the PCB industry. Jawitz continued to be active in the aerospace industry and in the IPC well beyond his retirement date. He died on April 13, at the age of 78.

Jawitz was an expert in the area of rigid flex and flexible circuits. He won the IPC President’s Award, chaired the IPC Rigid-Flex Committee and was an instructor for IPC’s multilayer rigid-flex workshop for more than two decades.

Jawitz counted in his industry accomplishments over 50 technical articles and papers on rigid and rigid-flex PCBs, including two recent books. “Printed Circuit Board Materials Handbook,” covers PCB construction glass fabric to finished board and describes how copper-clad laminates are made. Jawitz’s second book, “Materials for Rigid and Flexible Printed Wiring Boards,” co-authored by his son Michael, explores Jawitz’s real passion – flex and rigid-flex circuits.

Marty leaves his wife of over 54 years, Carole, three sons; Michael and his wife Sherri, Mark and his wife Jodi, and Mitchell and his wife Karol, and six grandchildren.
