MacDermid Alpha’s Kester Brand to Exhibit at China International Optoelectronic Exposition
September 2, 2020 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Kester brand of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a world leader in the production of electronics soldering and bonding materials, will be represented by China Distributor, Shanghai Fairfield Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., at the China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) in Shenzhen, China from September 9-11.
Kester will be highlighting its tacky solder flux and solder paste portfolio. Kester Tacky Solder Fluxes (TSFs) are the industrial standard for Flip Chip and BGA Sphere Attach. With viscosities optimized for high speed application and holding of a chip or sphere in place prior to reflow, Kester TSFs enable wide process windows for our users. Known for their active soldering, Kester TSFs ensure good electrical connections on known good die and components. Featured products include TSF-6522RH, TSF-ULR18, and TSF-WS917.
Additionally Kester will exhibit three of its leading solder pastes. Kester NP560 is a no-clean, lead-free, halogen-free solder paste that has redefined the voiding standard for PCB assembly. This paste consistently delivers paste transfer efficiencies of 0.50 to 0.55 AR and is fully capable of printing and reflowing 01005 components, even in air, with minimal graping behavior. Kester NP545 is a zero-halogen, lead-free, no-clean solder paste formula designed for consistency and repeatability, and Kester NP505-HR is a zero-halogen, lead-free, no-clean solder paste formula developed specifically for high reliability applications.

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.
