Alpha to Showcase Sintering Preforms at APEC 2017 Expo
March 16, 2017 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will feature its ALPHA Argomax 9000 Silver Sintering Preforms at the APEC 2017 show, to be held in Tampa, Florida from March 26–30. Alpha will be at Booth 1232.
"Up until recently, this technology has only been available in both paste and film formats, but now we are the first to introduce a sintering product in a preform format to widen our product portfolio and extend the superior capabilities of Argomax," said Julien Joguet, Alpha's Global Product Manager for Sintered Materials. "These innovative preforms deliver superior thermal conductivity, ultra-high reliability and excellent electrical conductivity, in addition to easy handling and processability."
Argomax 9000 Preforms are proving to be the most reliable die attach materials in the Power Semiconductor Industry and can be used in a range of applications from power modules to heat sink attach and automotive applications, in areas in which thermal and electrical conductivity and joint strength is crucial. The preforms are available for sampling in tape and reel format and waffle pack for standard pick and place equipment.
For more information on how ALPHA Argomax 9000 Silver Sintering Preforms can demonstrate excellent performance in large area attachment and simplify the manufacturing process, visit Alpha at APEC, Booth 1232.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
