MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions Eclipse ®

The benchmark in Plated Through Hole (PTH) direct metallization processes, engineered to provide high performance, reliability, and durability. Product Overview Eclipse is engineered for fabricators and OEMs that require consistently high performance, reliability, and durability. Simpler to use and considerably more cost-efficient than electroless copper, Eclipse delivers advanced capabilities and RoHS compliance in a single process. The carbon-based system is capable of initiating 20:1 aspect ratio and higher through holes. Boards processed with Eclipse achieve over 500 IST cycles, as well as reduced chemical and water consumption by up to 90%. Eco-friendly and efficient, Eclipse cuts process steps by 50% and eliminates 100% of chelated metals. Utilizing an automated horizontal process, it delivers unmatched coverage and connectivity for even the most complex designs—and is fully supported by our hands-on global technical service. Low etch options are available upon request.
