Eclipse, the revolutionary direct plate system from MacDermid Electronics Solutions, has earned Mil-PFR-55110G approval through Defense Logistics Agency DSCC.  Working with fabrication partner Universal Circuits and their strategic military OEM customers, MacDermid demonstrated Eclipse's reliability advantages compared to traditional electroless copper. Eclipse combines the latest innovations in metallizing through holes and blind microvias with state of the art horizontal processing. The Eclipse process incorporates advances in neutralization, conductive carbon dispersion, and copper preparation. The result is a direct plate process that can surpass electroless copper reliability with the added benefits of reduced cycle time, reduced equipment footprint, reduced labor costs, simplified process control, and improved operator's conditions. Far better than electroless copper for the environment, Eclipse eliminates formaldehyde, heavy metals, and chelation. Contact MacDermid at www.macdermid.com/electronics.
