ElectroneX 2022
Rosehill Gardens, Sydney – 5-6 April
E
lectronex charges back to life on 5-6 April at Rosehill
Gardens in Sydney. The Electronics Design and Assembly Expo and Conference will feature over 90 companies
and exhibitors.
Electronex is a must-visit event for designers, engineers,
managers, and other decision-makers involved in designing or manufacturing products with electronics.
It will include a wide range of electronic components,
surface mount and inspection equipment, test and measurement products and related products and services, including
contract manufacturing. Many companies will launch and
demonstrate new products and technology at the event.
A series of free seminars with overviews of some of the
latest technology and insights into future developments
will also be held on the show floor; sessions and times are
available on the show website.
Visitors can register for free at www.electronex.com.au
and your badge will be emailed. The hours are 10am – 6pm
on Tuesday 5 April, and 9am – 4pm on Wednesday 6 April.
Free parking is available off James Ruse Drive.
SMCBA Conference
The Surface Mount & Circuit Board Association (SMCBA)
is conducting Australia’s only conference dedicated to electronics design and manufacture concurrently with the expo
(see the full program or book for sessions at www.smcba.
asn.au). Topics include:
“Designing the Signal Return Path” half-day workshop
(Susy Webb, senior PCB designer at Design Science PCB)
PCB signal routing is critical, but the return portion is
often the last thing considered or even forgotten. This presentation on the importance of that return path will include
the physics, where the energy flows, interference caused
when it is not controlled and the planes and stackup needed.
“HDI Routing Solutions” half-day workshop (Susy Webb)
With tighter pitches and higher pin counts, maximum
board routing on as few layers as possible is essential. HDI
can help achieve this. The topic includes possible stackup
siliconchip.com.au
types, ways to get signals and power between layers and
patterns/grids like via in pad, offset or swing vias to maximise fanout and routing opportunities. Routing return,
power distribution and layer paired routing are considered.
“Low Temperature Soldering – A new challenge in electronics assembly” (Keith Sweatman, Senior Technical
Advisor at Nihon Superior Ltd, Japan)
There are benefits to lead-free solder alloys that can be
used at process temperatures even lower than for tin-lead
solder. But there are also complications and challenges. This
presentation will review the emerging low-temperature
soldering technology.
“Printed Circuit Board Inspection & Field Failures – Causes
and Cures” (Bob Willis)
Covering test methods and tricks of the trade to understand how PCBs and PCB assemblies can fail and how to
eliminate many of the common causes.
“Supply Chain Challenges and Strategies” (Matt Wild,
General Manager at Future Electronics Australia & New
Zealand)
A discussion about the latest supply trends and cost
changes, focusing on practices to mitigate the impact and
what is being done to ensure future supply.

Altronic Distributors
have expanded their Powerhouse range of deep-cycle leadacid AGM batteries designed
for use in buggies, wheelchairs,
forklifts and remote power applications. The new range is available in
sizes from 26Ah up to 110Ah capacity and is available locally through
Altronics distribution centres around Australia.
They have also added to their battery range with a new lithium-
iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) range designed to provide significant benefits over the traditional lead-acid battery. LiFePO4 batteries are half
the weight of lead-acid batteries, have a low self-discharge when not
in use, a longer run time and a non-toxic chemistry that doesn’t use
environmentally damaging rare earth metals.
Their expanded Raspberry Pi range includes the new Raspberry
Pi 400 all-in-one computer and the Pico
microcontroller board, plus a suite of
accessories. The new Raspberry Pi 400
is not only a complete personal computer
with a keyboard in a single case; it can
also be used for open source development and STEM coding.
