1.0
Introductions
A round of self-introductions was conducted.
2.0 Committee
Organization and Procedures
2.1 Membership and Attendance
The membership list was reviewed and adjusted to read as reflected in
the following table. A quorum was present. Cooper Bussman, Taiyo Yuden,
and AEM were added as active Committee Member Organizations.
2.2 Approval
of Agenda
An additional item was added to the proposed agenda under 2.8 New Business
Chairman replacement. The Committee unanimously accepted the Agenda
as adjusted.
2.3 Approval
of April 2001 San Antonio, TX Meeting Minutes
It was noted that Len Metzger was double listed on the previous set
of minutes, and was to appear on those minutes as falling under the
"others present" category. The minutes were approved as adjusted.
2.4 Correspondence
No correspondence to the committee since the last meeting.
2.5 Review of
the Committee's Scope
Chairman Greenidge introduced a proposal for modification to the committee
scope. The purpose is to relate the PDP-100 document to the ECA website
concepts related to the 'Wherehouse'. An interested customer would typically
go to the website and discover who has a particular product that conforms
to a component outline listed in the ECA PDP-100 document.
The Committee Scope
Statement was modified to read:
"Provide standardization using format outlined in PDP-100, administration,
and circulation of mechanical outline drawings of electronic parts provided
by industry participants."
The Chair produced
the first document to appear on the website. It needs to be posted.
Discussion pursued.
It appears that at this point in time, documents would be posted in
.pdf format. Users typically look for components that satisfy electrical
performance requirements first, and then for mechanicals. Height above
the board is frequently a critical variable that becomes a problem.
Often an OEM will have to produce a company drawing on a component.
If they could refer to a PDP-100 outline it would save considerable
amount of internal documentation. Contract manufacturers today are playing
a major part in the design-to-production process and this type of documentation
would be helpful between OEM and contract manufacturer. The committee
generally agreed that a future feature would be to also have CAD drawing
capabilities along with the .pdf formatted drawings.
Discussion pursued
concerning the PDP-100 document and how to modify it to address the
latest concepts. The drawing codes no longer would require a position
to indicate Registered drawing /Standard Drawing. This would then be
used to indicate what commodity product the drawing is representing
(e.g., R=Resistor, C=Capacitor). Also discussion of what the terminology
to be used in the document took place. For example, what is now referred
to as an M-3216 reflects the metric package size. Industry, however,
commonly refers to this package by the inch-pound size; 1206. To maximize
utility of the drawings, and to minimize confusion, it was felt that
the 1206 package should be referenced as a 1206.
Carl Lindquist will
supply the first set of drawings that will include a series of fuses.
He will supply these for the next meeting.
Chair Greenidge
needs the introduction of PDP-100 electronically for his task to modify
the introduction and the coding structure.
2.6 Complete
balloting on SOCM-3216
It was unanimously agreed to table this item until PDP-100 is reformatted.
2.7 New Business
Chairman Caddy Greenidge announced that he was stepping down as Chair
of the P-4 Committee and that a new Chairman would need to be selected.
Brian Piscatelli was nominated and unanimously voted to the position
by the committee. The committee then unanimously confirmed Diane Bicknese
as Vice-Chair.
The committee agreed
with staff that PDP-100 would not go to reprint since the anticipated
revision will be actively reworked over the next year.
3.0 Next Meeting
The next
meeting will be at the 4th ECA Engineering Summit the week of 14 April
2002 in Albuquerque, NM at the Sheraton Old Town Hotel.
4.0 Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 15:39PM.
This meeting was
conducted in accordance with the EIA Legal Guidelines and the Manual
of Organization and Procedures.
