Solder Alloys and Preforms

Hi-Rel Group manufactures solder preforms and solder alloys for microelectronic packaging, casting an extensive range of industry-standard and non-standard compositions on-site. Every alloy meets or exceeds J-STD-006C, and each is available as bulk foil, as finished preforms, or attached to Hi-Rel-produced or customer-supplied lids, packages, and thermal spreaders for a turnkey sealing solution.

What sets our solder apart is our proprietary Dry Rolling process, developed in-house and unique to Hi-Rel. It almost entirely eliminates the contaminants, such as carbon, that typical hot rolling introduces, producing the purest, highest-performing solder we can supply. For your packages, that purity translates directly into better yield. The alloy tables below cover our standard catalog. If you need a composition that is not listed, we develop custom solder alloys built to your specification.

Produced on state-of-the-art rolling equipment, our preforms are held to tight dimensional tolerances, with non-tooled lead times of 1 to 3 weeks and tooled lead times of 3 to 5 weeks.
