MacDermid Alpha Introduces Ultra-Fine Feature Solder Paste at Productronica China in Shanghai
March 5, 2021 | MacDermid Alpha Assembly DivisionEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Assembly Solutions division of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a world leader in the production of electronics soldering and bonding materials, will introduce ALPHA® OM-372 its latest ultra-fine feature solder paste innovation at Productronica China at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai, China from March 17-19.
ALPHA OM-372 is designed to provide ultra-high electrochemical reliability on fine pitched, low standoff components. ALPHA OM-372 is formulated to deliver low post reflow residue and superior transfer efficiency on fine feature pads as low as 80x130µm (008004). A combination of these best-in-class features as well as excellent HIP and NWO performance makes it ideal for a broad range of high board density applications requiring smaller, thinner, and lighter form factor components.
MacDermid Alpha will also be promoting its latest ALPHA HiTech bonding materials including the newly launched ALPHA HiTech Underfill and Edgebond products featuring high Transition Glass Temperature (Tg), Low Coefficient Thermal Expansion (CTE), and excellent thermal cycling (TCT) performance. ALPHA Argomax® sintering process solutions and new technology for flexible formable and printed electronics will also be featured.

Nolan’s Notes: A Tribute to Iola—and Automation
12/02/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesIn the 1960s and ’70s, when the west side of the Portland, Oregon, metro area was dominated by Tektronix, my grandmother worked as one of the “assembly ladies.” Known as “Tek,” the company was an economic juggernaut, driving the economy of the cities of Beaverton, Tigard, and Hillsboro. The only employer larger than Tektronix was the state of Oregon itself; virtually every Portlander had some connection to Tek.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Solderability Test Methods, Myths, and Realities
11/26/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileSolderability testing answers a simple question: How readily will a termination form a sound solder joint under defined conditions? It is not component preconditioning. Rather, it evaluates wetting—the speed and extent to which molten solder spreads and adheres to a surface—using controlled methods (e.g., visual “dip-and-look” or wetting-balance measurements). Results reflect the combined effects of termination finish, storage and handling, flux activity, and the solder alloy in use.
