MacDermid Alpha Assembly Division to Present at Hilpert Electronics Seminar
June 7, 2019 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Assembly division of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a world leader in the production of electronics soldering and bonding materials, will present its latest low-temperature soldering technologies at the upcoming `Paste Printing 4.0‘ customer technical seminar hosted by Hilpert Electronics, Alpha distributor for Switzerland, on Wednesday, 19 June 2019.
Alan Plant, Customer Technical Service Coordinator, Europe for the Assembly Division of MacDermid Alpha, will present the latest Alpha low-temperature solutions at the event, including the revolutionary Alpha OM-550 HRL1 low-temperature solder paste. "Alpha OM-550 low temperature chemistry paired with the Alpha HRL1 alloy, enables a vast improvement in drop shock and thermal cycling performance and mechanical reliability versus existing low temperature alloys," said Plant. "Furthermore, with a minimum peak temperature of only 185ºC vs 245ºC, Alpha OM-550 HRL1 solder paste reduces energy consumption in the SMT process leading to a significant reduction in energy costs. The paste also delivers an increase in production yield and a reduction in component warpage."
The seminar will also include presentations on how to achieve a cost reduction in SMT soldering by selecting the optimal soldering materials, as well as live machine demos. For more information on the Paste Printing 4.0 seminar and to register for the event please visit the Hilpert Electronics website.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
