April 18, 2017 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions is introducing a robust portfolio of product solutions for flexible, formable and printed electronics at the IDTechEx Show taking place on May 10th-11th in Berlin, Germany. Alpha will be exhibiting jointly with MacDermid Autotype, under the MacDermid Performance Solutions business at Booth #J23.
The ALPHA Product offering includes Silver Inks, Carbon Inks, Dielectric Inks, Solder Pastes and Electronic Adhesives that meet the demanding performance and reliability requirements of flexible and printed electronic circuits. These materials are ideal for:
- Flexible PCBs for assembly of conventional devices and packages such as ICs, Processors or MEMS on circuited flexible substrates.
- Printed Electronic Circuitry for fabricating membrane touch switches, sensors, RFIDs, etc.
“The high performance, flexibility and enhanced durability of Alpha’s new products are ideal for applications where consistency and convenience are important, such as membrane touch switches, automotive and other industrial controls”, said Dr. Bawa Singh, EVP of Technology and Corporate Development for Alpha Assembly Solutions. “This provides a substantial benefit on performance and cost to designers who are looking for high reliability materials to enable their sophisticated multilayer designs.”
Alpha’s sister company, MacDermid Autotype, will also be exhibiting within the same space, located at Booth #J23. They are a global supplier of high quality precision coated films and materials for use in Electronics, Automotive and Printing industries.

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.
