Current IssueThe Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?
Solder 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.

Averatek Opens New Channels for Mina Surface Treatment
March 11, 2022 | AveratekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Averatek is pleased to announce the addition of Jeff Berlin of TEC Associates to its marketing efforts. As a manufacturer's representative, Berlin will be responsible for business development with Mina, a surface treatment that enables soldering to aluminum. Replacing silver-based ACP (Anisotropic Conducting Paste) with solder, Mina offers more cost-effective and environmentally friendly manufacturing, with shorter processing times and reduced wet-chemistry steps.
“Mina™ lifts the constraints of traditional processes and opens a range of new applications – notably in the RFID, LED and automotive industries,” says Tara Dunn, Averatek Vice President of Marketing and Business Development “Helping business partners to realize the full benefits of this technology is a great fit for Jeff, with his years of industry experience.”
Soldering to aluminum traditionally requires an additional surface finish, such as Zincate and ENIG – or the use of conductive epoxy. These are cost-prohibitive and carry reliability challenges. Additionally, existing solders, fluxes and cleaners are formulated for copper-based PCBs and do not work well on aluminum.
“The culture of innovation at Averatek is energizing, and it is exciting to bring a breakthrough technology like Mina™ to the market,” says Jeff Berlin, TEC Associates Sales Representative. “Mina™ is a great addition to our line-up of quality products and a unique option for our customers.”
