Alpha Assembly Solutions to Feature Innovative Solder Technologies and Recycling Services at SMTA Silicon Valley
November 7, 2018 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will feature its latest innovations in interconnect technologies and its solder debris recycling capabilities at the SMTA Silicon Valley Conference and Expo taking place on November 28, 2018 at the Bestronics Box Build Facility, San Jose, California.Alpha will be co-exhibiting at this event with its distributor partner, Krayden Inc.
Alpha will be promoting its newest solutions for void reduction and low temperature soldering, featuring the recently launched ALPHA OM-358 ultra-low voiding paste and the high performing, low temperature paste, ALPHA OM-550.ALPHA OM-358 provides excellent electrical and thermal performance, increasing production efficiency and reducing the amount of rework. “With less than ten percent voiding on bottom terminated components, this paste is well suited to meet the demands of automotive, aerospace, LED, and medical customers who have high reliability requirements,“ said Robert Wallace, Regional Marketing Manager for the Americas.
For low temperature soldering, Alpha will highlight the recently published,The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to...™ Low Temperature Soldering which contains technical articles written by several low-temperature solder experts from Alpha and its ALPHA® OM-550 high performing low temperature paste.ALPHA OM-550 is recongnized in the industry as providing excellent mechanical reliability, drop shock performance, and voiding on a variety of package types, as well as, efficiencies in both energy and costs.
Alpha‘s Recycling Services program will provide information on processes for and value of recycling paste scrap, dross, and debris.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.The Reclaim and Recycling Services are an important component of Alpha’s Sustainability programs.

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.
