Alpha to Present on New Tin Applications at ITRI Asia Tin Summit
November 15, 2016 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will present on consumption and new tin applications at the ITRI Asia Tin Week, which will be held from November 21–24 in Shanghai, China.
"Changes of Tin Application in Electronics Assembly Industry" will be presented November 23 by Valentijn Van Velthoven, Regional Vice President of Asia Pacific for Alpha Assembly Solutions, a part of the MacDermid Performance Solutions group of businesses.
"Considering the change of macro environments, I would like to present the link between the macro trends we see in our everyday world and how they impact solders, how they are being used, what drives the markets, and ultimately, how they affect demand for solder and alloys," said Valentijn. His presentation will specifically focus on photovoltaic, power electronics and LED industries.
Asia Tin Week, organized by the global tin association, ITRI, comprises of two main formal sessions: the ITRI Asia Tin Summit focused on industry and market issues and the China International Solder Technology Forum. Both sessions are simultaneously translated in both English and Mandarin. This is the 4th ITRI event held in China following 2011 in Hangzhou, 2013 in Kunming and 2015 in Shanghai. With strong support from other world leading organizations, this event will provide a comprehensive forum for discussion and networking between members of the global tin industry.

Connect the Dots: Designing for the Future of Manufacturing Reality—Surface Finish
05/07/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWhen designing the complex boards that many electronic devices require to operate, designers should consider manufacturability at every step. This is my last article focused on designing for the always-evolving manufacturing reality. Choosing the right surface finish has always been important. If you are creating intricate designs with a wide variety of components, like for an ultra-high density interconnect (UHDI) board, surface finish is a critical last step.
