Alpha to Exhibit Cored Wire, Preform Product Innovations at Matelec Madrid 2016
October 20, 2016 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will have its latest product innovations showcased by its distributor for Spain, AIM (American Iron Metals, S,L) at the Matelec show in Madrid, Spain on October 25–28, 2016.
Alpha's extensive product range including, ALPHA Telecore HF-850, Alpha's fastest wetting and lowest spattering, Halogen-Free and Halide-Free Cored Wire. Alpha Telecore HF-850’s rapid wetting meets drag soldering and all other common soldering needs. Its clear residue allows easy inspection of solder joints and the very lower spatter rate ensures board cosmetics and user comfort is maintained.
In addition, ALPHA Exactalloy Preforms will also be exhibited at the show, one of the many solutions Alpha offers to increase reliability in electronic assemblies. ALPHA Exactalloy Preforms are used to precisely increase the solder volume in solder joints. This results in increased strength of the solder joints, enabling them to withstand harsh operating conditions and improve conductivity.

Connect the Dots: Designing for the Future of Manufacturing Reality—Surface Finish
05/07/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWhen designing the complex boards that many electronic devices require to operate, designers should consider manufacturability at every step. This is my last article focused on designing for the always-evolving manufacturing reality. Choosing the right surface finish has always been important. If you are creating intricate designs with a wide variety of components, like for an ultra-high density interconnect (UHDI) board, surface finish is a critical last step.
