The performance of cored solder wire for the lighting industry can provide both unique areas of value associated specifically with the LED industry and values commonly seen in the traditional electronics industry.  One particular value is the spreadability performance of cored solder wire which can directly impact areas such as throughput, reliability, material consumption and aesthetics.

Joints soldered with cored wire are consumed in a variety of lighting applications. Most commonly, these spools of cored solder wire are used to make the connections between the control / power driver board and the LED engine board shown in Figure 1, to make board to board connections for linear lighting and for soldering the end cap contact which serves as the electrical gateway for retrofit based bulbs as shown in Figure 2.

LED chip-on-board applications (COB) typically involve assembling an LED die stack directly on to a substrate such as Metal Core PCB (MCPCB), FR4 etc.

A variety of die attach materials, including solder, conductive adhesive, or sintered materials can be used to bond the LEDs to the substrate, depending on the specific requirements, and the tradeoffs involved.

Over the years, the entire Argomax® team dedicated its efforts and strengths to one mission. This mission is to deliver the best products, the best processes with the best value for all your applications.

In April this year, we announced the grand opening of our new Die Attach Applications Center in Langenfeld, Germany.

This state-of-the-art facility’s mission, was to offer opportunities for European and other global companies to run their assemblies on the latest die attach equipment using advanced ALPHA® sintering, soldering and polymer technologies.

In 2015, 2.8 new vehicles will be sold every second in the world… yes, 88.6 million cars will be sold on the five continents this year, increasing by 2.4% compared to 2014.

Among these 88.6 million vehicles, more than 2.3 million will be hybrid electric or electric vehicles that will help reduce the CO2 emissions and reduce fuel consumption.

In just one application, high speed trains, a new power module designed with Argomax® delivered 30% real electrical energy savings on the rail line.

Our world is in constant movement. This movement impacts every aspect of our lives, in particular the energy sector that is being pushed to its limits. World population increases but our resources are limited. Prices increase and our environment suffers.
