Alpha to Present LED Technical Papers at Upcoming 2016FLEX Conference
February 25, 2016 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will participate in the 2016 FLEX Conference & Exhibition taking place February 29 to March 3 in Monterey, California.
Presented by FlexTech Alliance, the event draws various electronics professionals as they discuss the latest breakthroughs and developments in Flexible, Printed and Hybrid Electronics. Alpha’s Ravi Bhatkal and Nicholas Herrick, will be presenting technical papers in the Interconnect and FHE Technology sessions.
The paper by Ravi Bhatkal, titled “Flexible, Formable Interconnects for 3D Circuits,” focuses on a novel stretchable, formable interconnect technology for LED, sensor and other component integration in 3D and out of plane molded circuits.
The paper by Nicholas Herrick titled “Evaluating the Thermal, Electrical and Optical Characteristics of Mid-power LEDs Assembled with Traditional and High Reliability Solder Alloys on Flexible Circuits”, presents a structured study to understand LED performance at a range of operating currents by measurement of junction temperature, thermal resistance, total luminous flux, color-correlated temperature (CCT), efficacy, and wall plug efficiency, for a given solder alloy.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
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.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
