AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, is proud to announce its participation in the upcoming IPC APEX Conference and Expo, held at the Anaheim Convention Center in California from March 18-20, 2025. AIM will be showcasing its cutting-edge soldering materials, including Type 5 solder paste offerings, at booth #1902 on the exhibit floor.
In celebration of emerging trends in electronics miniaturization, AIM is declaring 2025 the "Year of Type 5".
