MacDermid Alpha‘s Assembly Division to Demo Low-temp Soldering Solution at EPP Innovations Forum
February 18, 2019 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Assembly division of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, the world leader in the production of electronics soldering and bonding materials, will be presenting its latest low temperature soldering solutions at the EPP Innovations Forum, on Wednesday March 13, in Böblingen, Germany.
Ralph Christ, customer technical support manager DACH Region for MacDermid Alpha will present on the latest trends and technologies in low temperature assembly with a focus on the revolutionary ALPHA OM-550 HRL1 low temperature solder paste. ¨Moving to a low temperature soldering process can provide multiple benefits including enabling a smooth transition from wave soldering to pin-in-paste, reducing thermal stress on components, and providing significant energy savings,“ comments Ralph. “Low temperature assemblies also deliver a notable decrease in non-wet open and head-in-pillow defects as well as dynamic warpage, common issues exacerbated by the continued trend towards miniaturisation in portable device applications.“
ALPHA OM-550 low temperature solder paste paired with the HRL1 alloy has been designed to increase production yield and reduce component warpage on temperature sensitive substrates, components and high warpage chips. With a minimum peak temperature of only 185°C vs 245°C, ALPHA OM-550 reduces energy consumption in the SMT process. The low temperature reflow also eliminates HIP and NWO defects. ALPHA OM-550 delivers improved mechanical reliability, drop shock performance and thermal cycling reliability in mixed alloy joints compared to other low temperature alloys.
