Summary: The Printed Circuits Handbook is the bible of its industry, exhaustively covering every facet of printed circuits assemblies. Each edition has been organized around a particular theme, around the changing nature of the industry; the fifth edition has an easier task than those before it, because major changes in miniaturization of printed circuits have been rocking the field in the past two years. This new edition then, the first in 6 years, features completely new design, fabrication, assembly sections, along with exhaustive updating throughout.
