ITRI\Soldertec has launched a LinkedIn Group 'CONNECT' covering the broad topic of electronics interconnection. This Group is intended as a techical forum for experts across the globe to network and discuss issues related to interconnection and soldering in particular.

The new Group already has 95 members, many of whom are experts in soldering technology and have been previously associated with other networks such as the European ELFNET initiative coordinated by Soldertec.

Sub-groups created so far include the important topic of lead-free solder reliability. Its 63 members include top researchers from Europe and the US who have begun to highlight issues such as tin whiskers, and combined loading conditions.

The forum can become a place to share news, articles and experiences as well as gather input on technical questions from peers.
