Alpha Assembly Solutions will be an exhibitor at the SMTA Space Coast Expo & Tech Forum, which will be held on November 17 in Melbourne, Florida.
Alpha will showcase its vast product portfolio of innovative materials and solutions for the electronics assembly industry, with particular focus on ALPHA Paste & Preforms for optimized process solutions and ALPHA Wave Solder Alloy & Chemistries and Cored Solder Wire for optimal performance. ALPHA Recycling Services will also be highlighted at the show to help customers realize their options for responsibly disposing of solder dross and waste.
"We are seeing more and more stringent specifications from our customers making it ever more critical for our product technology to yield consistent results while lowering overall costs," said Don Hosman, Southeast District Sales Manager for Alpha, a part of the MacDermid Performance Solutions group of businesses. "Our team works hard to exceed quality, efficiency and budget expectations to provide advanced products for a host of markets and applications."
In addition, Alpha will feature material set combinations to include paste, tacky flux, cored wire and wave soldering flux that are tested with one another to achieve greater reliability. These pairings, which were tested to IPC TM650 2.6.3.7/J-STD 004B requirements, will save customers a great deal of trial and error while increasing their throughput and time-to-market.
