MacDermid Alpha to Showcase Latest Circuit Board Assembly Innovations at Upcoming SMTA Expos
August 10, 2022 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global supplier of integrated solutions from our Circuitry, Assembly and Semiconductor divisions, will highlight its range of advanced solutions for circuit board assembly at the upcoming SMTA Queretaro Expo, Mexico on August 18, SMTA Ohio Expo, USA on August 24 and SMTA Chihuahua Expo on August 25.
MacDermid Alpha’s latest low temperature innovation, ALPHA OM-565 HRL3 solder paste, will be a highlight at all three SMTA Expos. The paste is designed to minimize warpage induced defects and enhance product reliability compared to existing low temperature solutions. At the SMTA Chihuahua Expo, Francisco Gallegos, Customer Technical Support Engineer – Mexico, will present a paper on this topic with ‘Low Temperature Soldering: Traditional Sn-Bi alloys and Latest Developments in High Reliability Alloys for SMT and PTH Applications’.
Additionally, MacDermid Alpha will promote the ALPHA HiTech range of adhesives, underfills, edgebonds and encapsulants. These epoxy-based materials provide reinforcement and protection for soldered assembled components, enhancing reliability. Sustainability initiatives will also be a key focus, with emphasis on MacDermid Alpha’s Reclaim and Recycling Services. Offering safe and efficient recycling services, this service helps companies meet their environmental and legislative requirements, and at the same time, maximize the value of their waste streams.
2022 is an important milestone for MacDermid Alpha with the business celebrating 250 years of combined innovation. The MacDermid brand is celebrating 100 years of supplying specialty chemical solutions for the most complex printed circuit board and IC substrate designs. The Alpha brand is celebrating 150 years of providing high performance component attachment materials for the electronics assembly industry.

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.
