MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions to Feature New Low Temperature Solder Paste at SMTA Huntsville Expo & Tech Forum
April 1, 2022 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Assembly Division of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global supplier of integrated solutions from our Circuitry, Assembly and Semiconductor divisions that provides unmatched capabilities in electronics design and manufacturing, will exhibit at the SMTA Huntsville Expo & Tech Forum on Tuesday, April 12 at The Jackson Center.
MacDermid Alpha will feature the recently launched ALPHA OM-565 HRL3 low temperature solder paste. ALPHA OM-565 HRL3 is formulated for a broad range of assemblies to mitigate warpage induced defects in temperature sensitive chip-scale packages. The ALPHA OM-565 chemistry enhances thermomechanical performance over existing low temperature solders, including excellent compatibility when used in combination with other tested assembly products, such as rework fluxes and cored solder wires.
“ALPHA OM-565 HRL3 alloy is our latest low temperature solder (LTS) paste and is an important addition to our LTS portfolio of solutions offering,” said Scott Lewin, Regional Marketing Manager. “Not only does it minimize post-reflow defects such as non-wet opens and head-in-pillow, but it also provides similar thermal cycling and drop shock performance to SAC305 at its target operating temperature range of -40 up to 85 °C. All this at a peak reflow temperature of only 175 °C! Because of this lower peak temperature requirement, ALPHA OM-565 also lowers overall energy consumption contributing to the industry’s efforts at increased sustainability.”
In addition, the high reliability solutions portfolio including ALPHA CVP-390V and Kester NP505-HR solder pastes with Innolot alloy and the ALPHA HiTech series of adhesive, edgebond, and underfill will be promoted. These materials are designed for a wide range of applications to provide exceptional performance in the harshest of environments.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
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.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
