MacDermid Alpha‘s Assembly Division to Present Void Reduction Solutions at the FED Conference
September 9, 2019 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Assembly division of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a world leader in the production of electronics soldering and bonding materials, will present on the topic of Void Reduction at the FED Conference which runs from 26-27 September in Bremen, Germany.
Ralph Christ, customer technical support manager DACH Region for MacDermid Alpha will present "Voiding in Solder Joints: Identifying Causes and Potential Actions Against Void Formation" on Thursday 26 September, 15.30 at the event. "Voids are a major concern for electronic assembly manufacturers as voiding often compromises the reliability of an assembly," comments Ralph. "To combat voiding a combination of process expertise to understand critical process parameters, design factors and equipment information and innovative products such as solder paste, solder preforms and stencil design is needed."
ALPHA Void Reduction Solutions is a proven methodology to address all types of voiding issues in SMT assembly. Alpha experts analyze a customer’s process and develop an engineered recommendation addressing material sets, equipment settings and stencil design strategies to produce the desired voiding levels.
MacDermid Alpha Automotive will also present at the conference. Jan-Henryk Serzisko, strategic account director for MacDermid Alpha Automotive will present "Formable Electronics: Process Requirements and Materials for IMSE" on Friday 27 September at 15:00.

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.
