What are you paying the most attention to as we enter 2025? Find out what we learned when we asked that question. Join us as we explore five main themes in the new year.
Soldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?

Alpha Intros Low-Temp Solder Paste at productronica China 2018
March 12, 2018 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will be introducing its new low temperature solder paste at productronica China in Shanghai from March 14-16, 2018.
Alpha's revolutionary ALPHA OM-550 HRL1 low temperature, high reliability solder paste will be highlighted at the show. The ALPHA HRL1 alloy was designed to improve thermal cycling performance in low temperature assemblies. The chemistry and alloy pairing is revolutionary as it reduces the soldering temperature required for SAC alloys by 50°C, while dramatically reducing power consumption and carbon emissions. The ALPHA HRL1 alloy enables assemblers to have a cost efficient, highly reliable soldering process with up to 99% less warpage and significantly fewer defects. It shows the best compatibility with SAC alloys vs. other low temperature SnBi alloys.
Additionally, ALPHA OM-550 has the characteristics of a modern solder paste designed for motherboards but with the ability to reflow at lower temperatures, therefore minimizing Head-in-Pillow and NWO defects in complex assemblies.
For more information on Alpha’s low temperature solder paste, visit Alpha Assembly Solutions Booth at Productronica China E2-2140.
