MacDermid Alpha’s ALPHA OM-550 Solder Paste to be Demonstrated by Vermes Microdispensing at IPC APEX EXPO
February 3, 2020 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, leaders in innovative electronic interconnect technologies, will have its revolutionary low temperature solder paste, ALPHA OM-550 HRL1 demonstrated by Vermes Microdispensing on their latest solder paste jetting dispense system, MDS 1560 with DST(Dynamic Shockwave Technology), during this year’s IPC APEX EXPO Conference and show, February 1-6, in San Diego, California.
Vermes Microdispensing, a world leader in the design and manufacture of advanced microdispensing systems, has had considerable success with jet dispensing the ALPHA OM-550 HRL1 solder paste and will be running this paste using its MDS 1560 jetting head in Booth #1602. “We are excited with the success Vermes has had with our latest generation of low temperature solder paste,” said Paul Salerno, Global SMT Portfolio Manager at MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions. “Customers will be pleased with the performance of this paste in a jet dispensing application.”
Alpha, a brand of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, is a leader in innovative materials for electronics assembly. In addition to the suite of Alpha materials for low temperature assembly solutions, the new ALPHA HiTech™ Adhesives and Encapsulants, Void Reduction Solutions (VRS), and range of materials for automotive assemblies will be promoted.

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.
