Reading time ( words)

MacDermid Alpha, one of the world’s largest providers of circuitry, assembly, and semiconductor solutions for electronics manufacturers, has expanded the Argomax^® technology offering. Argomax^® 2148 is a new silver sintering product, designed for electric vehicle power inverters. The sintered joint enables the fabrication of smaller, lighter, and reliable power train systems.

MacDermid Alpha’s range of Argomax silver sintering pastes offer flexibility and ease-of-use while reducing manufacturing cost and time to market. These pastes, applied by low-pressure processing are designed for die, top side, or package attach. Argomax pastes are available in wet and dry options.

Argomax 2148 enables the sintering of large packages or components on gold or silver substrates. Utilizing a pure silver bond line, the dispensable silver sintering paste exhibits excellent bond line thickness and adhesion. Argomax 2148 gives excellent performance on marginal component surfaces. The resulting sintered joint provides high thermal and electrical conductivity. With its firm attachment to the inverter, manufacturers benefit from superior component performance and reliability in extreme temperature ranges.

Ease-of-use and application are key values associated with the Argomax product line. Argomax 2148 is the ideal choice for components where a low-pressure application is critical.

Major automotive manufacturers worldwide rely on the superior performance and reliability of Argomax as part of their electric vehicle inverters. The result: enhanced range, power, and reliability of electric vehicles, coupled with MacDermid Alpha’s unrivaled technical support and customer service.

In a market that is trying to catch up with increasing customer demands and quickly ship products out the back door, no electronics manufacturing plant can afford to lose any time or resources during the production process. Manufacturers are forced to do more with less and get the most out of every single precious component.

Excess inventory is a ubiquitous issue in the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry, and it is made worse by the complexity and volatility of the modern supply chain. Considered an unavoidable cost of doing business, unchecked inventory cost has wreaked havoc on manufacturers without strict controls in place to keep their businesses safe. Excess inventory is not only costly for manufacturers themselves, but also for their end customers. Unwillingly, manufacturers are sometimes forced to eat this cost to avoid disrupting relationships with their customers and with the hope of making up the losses in next year’s orders from the customer.
