The SMART Group has signed up to National Electronics Week in order to support its members at the show, and announces plans to launch its “SMART Group Lead-Free Def ects Guide 2” at the event.

Featuring defects associated with components, PCBs, design, materials, assembly and rework, the SMART Group’s Lead-Free Defect Guide 2 is a useful resource for today’s enginee rs. National El ectronics Week (June 17th – 19th at London’s Earls Court) will provide visito rs and exhibito rs alike with an opportunity to be among the fi rst in the world to get a free copy of the guide, being launched on the SMART Group stand. The association will be promoting its wide range of technology events, in addition to providing advice about SMART Group membe rship and its forums.

Commenting on the news, National Electronics Week Event Director Claire Jeffreys explains: “NEW is a fantastic opportunity for the UK’s electronics industry, with the power to change the face of what we can expect from a show of this nature. That’s why it’s vital that we make the most of it – which means the more people who get involved, the better! So, naturally, we’re delighted to welcome the SMART Group to the show. By adding one of Europe’s leading trade associations to our extensive industry line-up, we’re able to extend our exceptional scope of coverage even further. National Electronics Week really is a NEW start for all of us – and, thanks to the involvement of organisations such as the SMART Group, it will certainly feature something for everyone!”
