ALPHA InnoLot Telecore HF-850 Cored Solder Wire Increases Reliability in Automotive Electronics
December 14, 2015 | AlphaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha, the world leader in the production of electronic soldering materials, has specially engineered its Telecore HF-850 Cored Solder Wire with InnoLot alloy to increase reliability to under hood electronics. With warranty claims and the life-span of electronic assemblies in automotive vehicles a top concern for Automotive Electronics Manufacturers, it is more important than ever that under hood electronics can withstand the most demanding conditions.
HF-850 provides the best-in-class soldering performance for tip temperatures ranging from 320°C to 420°C applications and offers excellent performance in various applications including point, drag and automated robotic soldering. The wire also leaves excellent joint cosmetics due to its clear, non-tacky residue. Alongside its clear appearance, making inspection easier, the residue also passes the most demanding electrical reliability testing.
ALPHA® Telecore HF-850 is the fastest wetting and lowest spattering Halogen and Halide Free cored wire offering from Alpha. HF-850 combined with the InnoLot alloy is the perfect solution for Automotive Power train and Chassis applications where electronics will be exposed to harsh operating conditions. The InnoLot alloy is designed to provide increased reliability to solder joints which are subjected to high temperatures and harsh vibrations.
Bernice Chung, Alpha’s Global Product Manager for Cored Wire comments, “InnoLot Telecore HF-850 completes Alphas range of high operating temperature automotive assembly solutions, making Alpha unique in providing the full range of soldering process materials with the InnoLot alloy”.

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.
