February 22, 2017 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will be showcasing its high reliability products for automotive applications alongside MacDermid Enthone Electronics Solutions (MEES) at the Automotive Technology Roadshow, which will be held from March 7–21.
A part of the MacDermid Performance Solutions group of businesses, Alpha and MacDermid Enthone are global leaders in the development, manufacture and supply of surface coating and joining materials in the Automotive market.
"Alpha Assembly Solutions and MacDermid Enthone Electronics Solutions are uniquely qualified to provide a full range of solutions for automotive applications, from high reliability electronics assembly products to PCB fabrication chemistries and lead-free final finishes," comments Steve Brown, Automotive Electronics Director, MacDermid Performance Solutions.
Alpha will showcase its full range of products for automotive assemblies including ALPHA InnoLot ultra high reliability alloy, which has been designed to withstand the extreme operating temperatures automotive electronics are exposed to within the engine bay. Also to be featured, the ALPHA SBX02 low temperature alloy, which can enable the use of lower cost, lightweight PET flex circuitry for the in-cabin area of vehicles.
The roadshow will travel to top automotive manufacturing sites across the UK and Germany, including Aston Martin, Visteon Engineering Services, Audi and Continental. The roadshow is unique in that it takes manufacturers directly to customers and is aimed at design and development managers, project and R&D Engineers and senior purchasing and management.
Additional information on the Automotive Technology Roadshow can be found at the Dream Marketing website.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
