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.
