Taiyo has added a new customer service representative, Alyssa Orellana. The recent change was in light of the fact that Linda Merrell, a 22-year veteran of the customer service department, is retiring.
John Fix, Taiyo’s manager and director of sales and marketing said, “Alyssa will bring Taiyo America new energy as well as a new perspective. I invite everyone to call her and welcome her to Taiyo’s team.”
In her spare time, Alyssa enjoys practicing cosmetology, watching movies and taking walks on sunny days.
Linda’s contribution to Taiyo America over the past 22 years was priceless to the company and its team, and most importantly, to Taiyo’s customers. Her kindness, friendly disposition and care made for a mutual admiration between company and customers alike.
Linda will be sorely missed but is wished only the best in her enjoyable retirement years.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
