May 11, 2018 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will highlight its range of advanced solutions for Electric and Hybrid Electric Drivetrains at the PCIM Exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany from June 5-7.
As the demand for electric and hybrid electric vehicles increases in response to new government and environmental policies to tackle CO₂ emissions, the need for automotive electronics to be robust and highly reliable has never been greater. Alpha, a Macdermid Performance Solutions Business, has developed a range of highly reliable die attach solutions to ensure optimum performance and lower warranty costs for automotive manufacturers.
“Alpha’s range of die attach solutions for electric vehicle drivetrains provide high thermal and electrical conductivity and high reliability” comments Julien Joguet Global Business Market Manager, Die Attach at Alpha Assembly Solutions. “ALPHAArgomax products provide a dramatic reduction in thermal resistance and inductance and 15x higher reliability than traditional solder methods.”
As well as its products for electric vehicle drivetrains, Alpha will present its products for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and 5G Integration, including ALPHA Atrox Conductive Adhesive and ALPHAMaxrelSolder Alloy. “ALPHAAtroxprovides high thermal conductivity for high frequency ADAS and 5G computing, as well as enabling high reliability sensor integration”, explains Gyan Dutt, Global Portfolio Manager Die Attach Assembly Solutions at Alpha. “As well as this, the ALPHA® Maxrel Solder Alloy provides industry leading creep and vibration resistance which is crucial in areas such as the vehicle Engine Control Unit which is often exposed to extreme environmental conditions.”
