MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions Launches ALPHA HRL3 Solder Sphere
May 12, 2022 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a world leader in the production of innovative materials used in semiconductor, circuitry, and electronics assembly announces the release of ALPHA HRL3 Solder Sphere, lead-free, high reliability, low-temperature alloy for ball mount applications.
ALPHA HRL3 is a lead-free, low temperature, high-reliability alloy for use applications where low-temperature processing is desired. ALPHA HRL3 is available in solder sphere format for ball mount application. The alloy was designed to exhibit improved drop shock and thermal cycling performance versus existing low-temperature alloys in the market. ?The ALPHA HRL3 Solder Spheres offer a wide operating window, cost savings through low-temperature materials and heating energy while reducing warpage.
ALPHA HRL3 Solder Spheres is a high-quality lead-free alloy that is capable of soldering at a temperature lower than standard tin silver-copper alloys. ALPHA HRL3 solder alloy is able to demonstrate reliability performance comparable to standard tin silver copper alloys (SAC305). To ensure consistent sphere size, uniformity, and alloy content, ALPHA Solder Spheres are manufactured to the highest quality control standards.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
