MacDermid Alpha to Feature Solder Joint Ruggedization Solutions at SMTA Expos
March 1, 2022 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The Assembly Division of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global supplier of integrated solutions from our Circuitry, Assembly and Semiconductor divisions that provides unmatched capabilities in electronics design and manufacturing, will exhibit at the SMTA Rocky Mountain Expo & Tech Forum on Thursday, March 10 and at the SMTA Dallas Expo & Tech Forum on Tuesday, March 22.
Alpha and Kester will feature technologies engineered for enhanced reliability through ALPHA CVP-390V and Kester NP505-HR solder pastes with the industry leading high reliability Innolot alloy.
“The need for devices to withstand a high degree of mechanical stress, such as vibration, drop shock, and thermal cycling, is increasingly essential as the complexity of assembly designs expands across markets, including industrial, handheld computing, and automotive electronics,” stated Paul Salerno, Global Portfolio Manager, SMT. “MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions offers a suite of technologies incorporating high performance alloys, flux chemistries, and polymer reinforcement materials that provide a full spectrum of material design solutions to meet the increased reliability performance requirements demanded of these devices.”
Other technologies to be promoted are Alpha and Kester’s low temperature solder pastes and the ALPHA HiTech portfolio of adhesive, underfill, and edgebond solutions.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
