MacDermid Alpha to Feature Latest Low Temperature Solutions at SMTA Guadalajara and SMTA Empire Expos
September 15, 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 present two papers on its latest low temperature solutions at upcoming SMTA Expos, the first at SMTA Guadalajara which will be held at the Expo Guadalajara from September 21 – 22, and the second at the SMTA Empire in New York on September 27.
Francisco Gallegos, Customer Technical Support Engineer at MacDermid Alpha will present the paper, ‘Low Temperature Soldering: Traditional Sn-Bi based alloys and latest developments in high reliability alloys for SMT and PTH applications’ at 10.30am CT on Wednesday 21st September at the SMTA Guadalajara Expo. The paper will discuss MacDermid Alpha’s latest low temperature innovation, ALPHA OM-565 HRL3 solder paste. Designed to mitigate warpage induced defects in temperature sensitive chip-scale packages, the solder paste enables peak reflow of 175°C to minimize post reflow defects such as Non-Wet-Open (NWO) and Head-in-Pillow (HiP).
Lily Zeiler, District Sales Manager for Northeast US at MacDermid Alpha will present, ‘Low Temperature Soldering: Why LTS is Now a Potential and Viable Option for Many Applications’ at 1:00pm EST on Tuesday 27th September at the SMTA Empire Expo. The paper will discuss how by enabling lower peak reflow temperatures, low temperature solders offer manufacturers considerable process, reliability, and sustainability benefits for a broad range of applications.
In addition to its low temperature technologies, including ALPHA OM-565 HRL3, MacDermid Alpha will also promote its range of ALPHA HiTech adhesives, underfills, edgebonds and encapsulants at both expos. The ALPHA HiTech range of polymer materials are designed to provide enhanced protection for assembled chip components for a broad range of applications including automotive, camera module and mobile. Also featured will be MacDermid Alpha’s Reclaim and Recycling Program, which provides a safe and efficient service enabling customers to meet their environmental and legislative requirements, and at the same time maximize the return on their waste streams.
Visit MacDermid Alpha at booth #300 at the SMTA Guadalajara Expo and the MacDermid Alpha table at SMTA Empire for more information on our high reliability and low temperature solutions. To register for these SMTA Expos please visit: Events - SMTA.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
