Power Supplies

Power supply assemblies are used across a wide spectrum of devices and equipment in virtually all electronic markets. Power supplies are made in many places and, as a result, there are a wide variety of board materials, components and process conditions used.

Key Requirements for Joining Materials

High performance under wide process conditions
Excellent value, lowers total cost of ownership
High mechanical and electrochemical reliability
