Atotech, a leading specialty chemicals technology company and a market leader in advanced electroplating solutions, will take part in the Connector User Congress | Anwenderkongress Steckverbinder, running from July 4 through July 6, 2022 in Würzburg, Germany. The show provides an opportunity for industry partners to connect and network.
Atotech’s product experts are looking forward to exchange with visitors on the latest market and technology trends and requirements of connector designs and applications at booth # 26.
The company’s latest product innovations for connector applications include:
- Silvertech® RBH – hard silver electrolyte for electric vehicles applications, e.g. power train bus bars and connectors
- Stannopure® PF10 – green tin plating process for connectors and lead frames
- Novoplate® NIW – bright nickel-tungsten plating process with approximately 20% W designed to increase corrosion and wear resistance for connector applications
- Argalin® XL – solution for high performance and temperature stable anti-tarnish for silver and copper deposits
- Protectostan® Plus 3 – green (PFAS free) post dip for tin to preserve solderability under steam or heat

Trouble in Your Tank: Organic Addition Agents in Electrolytic Copper Plating
04/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere are numerous factors at play in the science of electroplating or, as most often called, electrolytic plating. One critical element is the use of organic addition agents and their role in copper plating. The function and use of these chemical compounds will be explored in more detail.
IDTechEx Highlights Recyclable Materials for PCBs
04/10/2025 | IDTechExConventional printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing is wasteful, harmful to the environment and energy intensive. This can be mitigated by the implementation of new recyclable materials and technologies, which have the potential to revolutionize electronics manufacturing.
Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
Real Time with... IPC APEX EXPO 2025: Tariffs and Supply Chains in U.S. Electronics Manufacturing
04/01/2025 | Real Time with...IPC APEX EXPOChris Mitchell, VP of Global Government Relations for IPC, discusses IPC's concerns about tariffs on copper and their impact on U.S. electronics manufacturing. He emphasizes the complexity of supply chains and the need for policymakers to understand their effects.
The Chemical Connection: Surface Finishes for PCBs
03/31/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWriting about surface finishes brings a feeling of nostalgia. You see, one of my first jobs in the industry was providing technical support for surface cleaning processes and finishes to enhance dry film adhesion to copper surfaces. I’d like to take this opportunity to revisit the basics, indulge in my nostalgia, and perhaps provide some insight into why we do things the way we do them in the here and now.
