The Assembly division of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions will be exhibiting at the Dallas Expo & Tech Forum taking place at the Plano Event Center in Texas on Tuesday, March 19, 2019. MacDermid Alpha will be featuring its low temperature solder technologies and reclaim and sustainability programs.
MacDermid Alpha will be promoting its recently launched ALPHA OM-358 ultra-low voiding solder paste. ALPHA OM-358 is a lead-free, zero-halogen solder paste designed to provide best-in-class voiding performance on all component types, including bottom terminated components. “This paste provides excellent resistance to electrochemical migration on fine pitch components.“, said Robert Wallace, Regional Marketing Manager for the Americas. “This makes OM-358 ideal for high-reliability applications, especially automotive in-cabin electronics, sensors, and powertrain“.
In addition, MacDermid Alpha will feature its Metals Reclaim and Sustainability programs. With over thirty years experience, MacDermid Alpha is North America’s largest solder manufacturer and recycler of electronics manufacturing waste. Its proprietary refining system upgrades the recycled material into better than vigin metal, enabling MacDermid Alpha to provide its customers with products using 100% recycled tin. “We are committed to creating a more sustainable supply chain.“, said Mitch Holtzer, Director of the Americas Reclaim Business. “We work closely with our customers to support their environmental initiatives for recycled products and managing their waste streams.“

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.
