AIM Announces New Halogen-Free No Clean Solder Paste, H10
March 2, 2023 | AIM SolderEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, is pleased to announce the release of its newest halogen-free no clean solder paste, H10.
H10 offers exceptional fine feature printing, improved electrochemical reliability, and powerful wetting in AIM's brand-new halogen-free no clean solder paste. H10 solder paste is capable of transfer efficiency >90% on area ratios of 0.50 and a stencil life >8 hours. H10’s powerful wetting characteristics eliminate NWO (HiP) defects and improve pad coverage on all surface finishes. H10 reduces voiding on BGA, BTC and LGA and offers enhanced electrochemical reliability on all low stand-off devices.
H10 is zero halogen per EN14562 and halide-free per IPC J-STD-004 current rev and is compatible with AIM’s full line of no clean flux chemistries. Fit for automotive, LED and aerospace assemblies, H10 no clean solder paste is robust, stable, and easy to implement.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
