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.
