Alpha Assembly Solutions (MacDermid Alpha), Heraeus, and Henkel have won in the patent infringement lawsuit against Senju Group (Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd., Senju Metal Europe GmbH, and Senju Manufacturing Europe S.R.O.) as pronounced by the District Court Frankfurt on April 3, 2024. The 1st instance judgment confirmed Senju’s infringement of the patent EP 1 617 968 B1 in Germany by the M794 solder alloy material.

With the continued miniaturization of automotive electronics, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) designers must consider the thermal demands in these smaller assemblies. This is especially true in PCBs that operate at high current-carrying capacity, as the increases in heat can lead to “hotspots”. In turn, these hotspots can cause warped, blistered, or even burnt boards, leading to premature component failure.
