Alpha to Focus on Auto Assembly Materials at SMTA Guadalajara Expo and Tech Forum
October 18, 2018 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Alpha Assembly Solutions will exhibit its innovative assembly and connecting materials for the automotive market at the 2018 SMTA Guadalajara Exhibition and Tech Forum being held November 14-15 at the Expo Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Mexico.
As the electronic content of automobiles continues to expand, Alpha is engineering materials to meet changing needs of the automotive industry. For in-cabin electronics, Alpha will promote its low-temperature solder pastes, such ALPHA OM-550, and its high-performance fluxes, including ALPHA EF-6000 and ALPHA EF-6808HF. During the expo, Alpha will have copies for review of I-Connect007’s The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low Temperature Soldering which was recently published and written by low-temperature solder experts from Alpha.
For electronic systems with higher reliability and safety requirements, Alpha will feature its family of low voiding, high reliability solder alloys and solder pastes including its new ALPHA® OM-358, OM-353,CVP-390, and InnoLot alloy. “Both the automotive electronics assembly market in Mexico and the electrification of automobiles continue to expand at a rapid pace,“ said Robert Wallace, Regional Marketing Manager for the Americas, “Alpha has products, processes, and support teams that can meet our customers‘ needs for performance, reliability, and low-cost of ownership.“
Alpha will also highlight its Recycling Services program. Alpha recycles scrap solder paste, debris, dross, and other tin-bearing materials from manufacturers throughout North America, and recently expanded its recycling capabilities throughout Mexico, having received an export license from SEMARNAT, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Mexico, to handle and transport nationalized scrap material. As North America’s largest solder recycler, Alpha takes pride in having the safest, most efficient, environmentally-compliant recycling solution that sends no materials to landfills.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
