KYZEN to Feature MICRONOX MX2123 Power Module Cleaner at iMAPS Wire Bonding Workshop
January 22, 2025 | KYZEN'Estimated reading time: 1 minute
KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally responsible cleaning chemistries, will exhibit at the International Symposium on Microelectronics (iMAPS) Wire Bonding 2025 Workshop and Tabletop Exhibition, scheduled to take place February 3-4 at the Westin San Diego Bayview. The KYZEN clean team will showcase multi-process power module cleaner MICRONOX MX2123 during the event.
With the continued rise in demand for high-performance advanced packaging devices, KYZEN remains dedicated to providing cleaning chemistries like MICRONOX MX2123 and process optimization services to meet the array of challenges faced by manufacturers.
MICRONOX MX2123 is a balanced, multi-phase chemistry designed to remove flux residues from a wide range of IGBT module devices that utilize combinations of copper, silver and nickel DBC as substrates. It can also remove fluxes from PCBs. MX2123 can remove slight metal oxidation from base metals for post wire bond and potting processes, leaving exceptional surface conditions after cleaning. It is effective at low temperatures, in low concentrations, and is easily monitored in in-line SIA or Ultrasonic Immersion cleaning systems.
The iMAPS Wire Bonding 2025 Workshop and Tabletop Exhibition is an advanced technical workshop presenting a unique forum to unite scientists, engineers, manufacturing, academia and others working in Wire Bonding. The workshop was established to provide a platform for presentations and debate regarding the latest technologies and applications of Wire Bonding use in battery pack, semiconductor, and microelectronic packaging.

Breaking the Manual Quoting Bottleneck in Wire Harness
04/15/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineArik Vrobel has spent more than 35 years in wire harness manufacturing—starting in EL-Com, his father's shop, building it into a nationally recognized contract manufacturer, and ultimately selling to Aptiv/Winchester in 2021. But retirement didn't last long. Within months, Arik was back, not as a manufacturer this time, but as a technologist. His new company, Cableteque, is building the quoting and data automation platform he always wished existed.
Wire Harness Taking a Step in the Right Direction
04/08/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineTo fully understand the modernization of wire harness design and assembly, we met with members of the Innovation Advisory Team for the Wire Harness Manufacturer’s Association (WHMA) to outline the current challenges facing wire harnesses and the specific steps to implement a digital data flow from OEM to manufacturer and back. In some ways, the wire harness industry is moving from 19th-century to 21st-century technology. But in the meantime, the real challenge isn’t building the harness—manufacturers are very good at that.
From Panels to Post-its
04/07/2026 | Lorena Villanueva, Global Electronics Association MexicoLast January, I attended the Global Leadership Summit of the Wire Harness Manufacturer’s Association (WHMA) in Las Vegas, and there was a subtle shift in one of the events that everyone could feel. We still had the traditional conference rhythm: strong keynote, well-prepared panels, and smart people in the room. There were also, sometimes, some careful answers—useful, but not always candid. So, I was curious when WHMA introduced a new peer-to-peer format for one session.
