Alpha to Host Low Temperature Assembly Technology Seminar in Suzhou, China
May 10, 2017 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will host a full day seminar on "Low Temperature Assembly Technology" on May 18, 2017 in Crowne Plaza Hotel in Suzhou, China.
The free seminar from Alpha, a part of the MacDermid Performance Solutions group of business, focuses on the current hot topic "Low Temperature Soldering". Topics include "A History and Overview of Low Temperature Solder Alloys", "A New Generation of Low Temperature Solder Alloys (HRL1)", "iNEMI Collaborative Effort on Low Temperature Soldering", "Low Temperature Soldering SMT Experiment" and also the newly coming soon to market "ALPHA OM-550 HRL1 Solder Paste" will also be introduced at the seminar.
"ALPHA OM-550 HRL1 represents the culmination of years of research and development, bringing SAC305-type mechanical and thermal reliability in a low temperature alloy to board level assemblies once thought impossible. ALPHA OM-550 HRL1 meets reliability requirements typical of motherboard and mobile assemblies, and supports our customers’ endeavor to reduce their carbon footprint without impacting performance. We are therefore excited to bring together representatives of our industry who have taken the first step towards reaping the benefits of this game changing class of materials in an event to share and showcase the results of their efforts at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Suzhou," said Phua Teo Leng, Regional Product Manager of Solder Paste. "Alpha has had a long-standing history of being a leader in innovation and sustainability, and OM-550 HRL1 is yet another statement of Alpha's commitment to the industry that we support the transition to a low carbon economy."

06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
