Alpha Assembly Solutions, the world leader in the production of electronic soldering and bonding materials, hosted a customer seminar in partnership with Interkont Berger GmbH, its distributor for Slovenia, in Liubliana, on May 31, 2016.
The seminar which was attended by 34 people from 12 customers focused on the topic of reliability. The event began with an introduction from Interkont's Sales Manager for Slovenia Matjaz Selijak. This was followed by Alpha's Sales & Technical Support Manager for Central Europe, Corné Hoppenbrouwers, who discussed the importance of reliability in electronic assemblies with particular emphasis on how Alpha’s extensive product range provides innovative solutions for reliability issues.
Of Alpha's product range, ALPHA Exactalloy Preforms provide an excellent assembly solution, by both increasing the reliability and the conductivity of solder joints. Alpha's EM Sales Development Manager, Daniele Perico presented on how preforms can be used in a number of different applications and industries to increase reliability and reduce voids.
ALPHA Exactalloy Preforms are used to precisely increase the solder volume in solder joints. The 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.
Alpha and Interkont have enjoyed a successful partnership for many years with Interkont supplying Alpha products across Eastern Europe.

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.
