JERSEY CITY, NJCookson Electronics has announced a surcharge on Alpha brand Sn-bearing solder pastes, effective 30 days from customer notification. A global shortfall in tin supplies versus forecasted consumption has pushed prices to 19-year highs. Tin prices have increased from a range of $6,000 to $9,000/metric ton during 2006 to more than $14,000/metric ton this quarter. Cookson said it would eliminate the surcharges when prices return to mid-2006 levels.
