April 16, 2024 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
In the rapidly evolving electronics industry, where innovation drives progress, MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions is committed to setting a new standard. Today, we are pleased to introduce ALPHA Innolot MXE, a revolutionary alloy meticulously engineered to address the critical needs of enhanced reliability and performance in modern electronic assemblies. “As an industry partner, we understand the importance of staying at the forefront of market trends. With Innolot MXE, we provide a groundbreaking solution that supports the highest standards of quality and performance” said Ebad Rehman, Product Manager, Solder Paste in the Americas, and Europe.
Advancing Performance with Innolot MXE
Innolot MXE represents a significant breakthrough in reliability, offering enhanced thermomechanical performance to meet the increasing rigorous demands of electronic assemblies. Surpassing traditional options like SAC305 and other high-reliability alternatives, Innolot MXE delivers exceptional thermal cycling, vibration, and drop shock performance. In addition, it achieves high creep-fatigue resistance, through a refined microstructure, making it ideal for the most demanding ruggedized applications. With its unparalleled combination of features, Innolot MXE is ready to usher in the next generation of excellence in electronic assembly.
Driven by Industry Demands
The development of Innolot MXE was inspired by the complex challenges present in sectors spanning automotive, aerospace, high-end computing, and industrial applications, where reliability is critical. Environments with severe stress on solder joints underscore the need for Innolot MXE, as traditional alloy options are limited in performance and durability. This innovative solution offers a higher margin of performance to enhance in-use life and advance board level reliability.
- Innolot MXE addresses new challenges in safety-critical systems, miniaturization, and harsh operating environments, setting a new standard for performance.
- Enhanced Creep Fatigue toughness inhibits crack propagation and improves thermal cycling performance as compared to SAC305 and other high-reliability alloys.
Innolot MXE is Available in ALPHA CVP-390V Solder Paste
To complement its exceptional thermomechanical performance, Innolot MXE is now available in combination with ALPHA CVP-390V solder flux. This offering presents an unparalleled blend of high-performance alloy and solder paste chemistry, ensuring unmatched electrochemical reliability even in the most demanding scenarios.
- ALPHA CVP-390V solder flux provides superior Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR) performance, ensuring reliability in complex assemblies and optimal process capability index (CpK) transfer efficiency, across varying print volumes and area ratios.
Experience ALPHA Innolot MXE, where reliability and performance come together to drive the future of innovation.

Global PCB Connections: Let the Spec Fit the Board, Not Just the Brand
07/17/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsIf you’ve ever seen an excellent PCB quote delayed, or worse, go cold because of a single line on the fab print, you’re not alone. Often, that line reads something like, “Use 370HR only,” or “IT-180A required.” These and other brand-name materials are proven performers, but unless your design needs that specific resin system (say, for RF performance, thermal reliability, or stringent CAF resistance), you may inadvertently be holding your job hostage.
Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
