SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ – Alpha said it has established a licensing agreement with Alcatel Lucent to complete Alpha’s suite of global sublicenses required to offer SnBiAg low-temperature solder paste.
Alpha has engineered CVP-520 SnBiAg Pb-free solder paste based on IP and will continue to use SnBiAg alloy in the development of other soldering products.
Alpha’s SnBiAg products will enable the use of a low-temperature second-side reflow process that can eliminate wave soldering of many multi-technology electronic assemblies that still require wave-soldered joints.
