Current IssueSolder Printing
In this issue, we turn a discerning eye to solder paste printing. As apertures shrink, and the requirement for multiple thicknesses of paste on the same board becomes more commonplace, consistently and accurately applying paste becomes ever more challenging.
A Culture of Thriving
One cannot simply command thriving; it must be nurtured, developed, and encouraged. In this issue, we explore strategies to improve your working relationship model—both internally and externally. In this culture of thriving, your business will grow in the process.

MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions to Highlight the Kester Integration at IPC APEX EXPO 2020
January 21, 2020 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, leaders in innovative electronic interconnect technologies, will feature Affinity 2.0, their highly stable, low corrosion ENIG process and the ALPHA® HiTech™ portfolio of low temperature adhesives, encapsulants, and underfills, at the IPC APEX Conference and Expo, February 1-6, in San Diego, California.
Advanced technologies often bring increased complexity, but well-designed technologies bring performance and simplicity. The Affinity 2.0 process’ highly stable activation and nickel plating allows for an ultra-uniform gold deposition with exceptional control. The Circuitry Solutions division will also highlight their complete line of leading-edge copper filled microvia and electroless copper processes.
A recent addition to the Assembly Solutions division, the ALPHA HiTech series of low temperature adhesives, encapsulants, and underfills is a one-stop bonding platform designed to reduce the scale-up risk for component assemblies deployed into demanding applications. ALPHA HiTech materials exhibit superior drop-shock, impact bend and thermal cycle performance. Their wide processing range has proved to be beneficial for assemblies, especially those incorporating temperature sensitive components. The ALPHA HiTech suite of products has broad application potential for Automotive, Medical, Smartphone, and White Goods assemblies.
This year, MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions is proud to welcome Kester to its electronics business. The acquisition of Kester reflects the strategic goals of MacDermid Alpha to expand its expertise and offerings throughout the electronics manufacturing supply chain. “The addition of Kester’s talent and expertise will be an important asset in achieving our goal of providing customers with leading products and solutions to ensure highest reliability and performance,” said Tim Williams, Vice President of the MacDermid Alpha Assembly Solutions division.
The Kester team will showcase their innovative assembly products, including 268 Flux-Cored Wire, high reliability products: NP505-HR Solder Paste, 275 Flux-Cored Wire, Select-10 Selective Soldering Flux, NF372-TB Soldering Flux and RF550, and solder pastes: NP560, WP616, NP545 and NP505-LT.

Solder Printing: A 1:1 Ratio of Technical and Creative
09/03/2024 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesWhen things get technical, I’m in my happy place. It’s why I work in technology in the first place. I also happen to enjoy creative pursuits, and my real happy place is when both happen at the same time. Over the years, it seems that most of us engaged in printed circuit design and manufacturing are similarly wired. I don’t think I’m alone in stating that finding a creative solution to a technical problem is one of the highlights of our workday. We get bonus points if the solution is particularly simple or uncomplicated.
