Dataweek will be hosting a one-day seminar targeted at professionals involved in the design and manufacture of electronic and electrical engineering systems. Entitled 'RoHS/Lead-Free in a Day', the event, which will be held in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, will be chaired by Bob Willis, an international expert who provides world-wide training and consultancy in most areas of electronics manufacture.

Lead-free assembly has an impact on the design, manufacture and the potential reliability of printed board assemblies. Although the fundamental processes do not change, the process parameters do change and there are process issues that arise to affect yields.
The RoHS/Lead-Free in a Day seminar seeks to provide practical insight into the inspection criteria, the changes to process conditions and how to monitor the process to obtain the highest yields. Explaining RoHS, optimising key processes and using technology to reduce costs, the session will also illustrate the potential problems at each stage of manufacture and how to avoid them.
The aim is to give delegates information and knowledge that will allow them to increase the competitiveness of their companies, both in the local and global markets to sell to customers requiring RoHS compliance.
The presenters are all leading experts in the electronics manufacturing process. In addition to Bob Willis, they include: Keith Bryant, a production engineer and director of the UK SMART Group, and member of the SMTA and the ICT; Mike Fenner, technical projects manager for Indium Corporation's European operations; and Josef Jost, owner/managing director of Balver Zinn, a leading provider of products utilised in the PCB and electronics industries.
