Alpha to Showcase Latest Product Innovations at productronica 2015
October 22, 2015 | AlphaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha, the world leader in the production of electronic soldering materials, will showcase its latest product offering at the productronica show which will take place on the 9th-13th November at the Exhibition Centre in Munich.
Alpha will present its latest product innovations, including ALPHA Exactalloy Preforms which are used to precisely increase the solder volume in solder joints. Exactalloy Preforms increase the strength of the solder joints enabling them to withstand harsh operating conditions and improve conductivity. They also eliminate the need for wave soldering.
In addition, Alpha will showcase products such as ALPHA CVP-390 solder paste which provides excellent pin testability and consistent fine pitch printing capabilities; ALPHA Telecore HF-850 no clean cored wire with superior wetting speeds and very low flux splutter, and its advanced range of Stencil Products.
Alpha will exhibit alongside smartTec, its distributor for Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
“Alpha is continuously developing the most advanced electronic assembly materials and solutions for its customers throughout Europe and across the Globe,” commented Bruce Moloznik, Regional Vice President for Alpha Europe. “At productronica, Alpha will showcase our latest product innovations that when combined with our best in class technical services, enable our customers to meet their demanding requirements in our very competitive market space.”

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.
