AIM to Participate in SMTA New England on November 3rd, 2016
October 13, 2016 | AIM SolderEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AIM Solder will highlight their innovative M8 no-clean solder paste along with their full line of solder assembly materials at the SMTA New England Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place November 3, 2016 at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.
M8 no-clean solder paste has been formulated to improve production yields and product quality, whether printing 0.50 area ratios or eliminating voiding on QFN and LED packages. M8's post-reflow residue passes all IPC, BONO and tough changing environment test specifications, making it the ideal choice for automotive and high performance/high reliability applications.
Additionally, AIM’s R&D Manager, Dr. Mehran Maalekian, will be presenting at the SMTA New England Expo & Tech Forum on November 3, 2016. Dr. Maalekian’s presentation, “New Pb-free Alloys for Improved Reliability – Latest Results,” explores the use of a novel high reliability lead-free solder alloy, that contrary to the commonly used SAC305, can perform in harsh service conditions and provides superior creep resistance and mechanical properties for high reliability applications.
Dr. Mehran Maalekian received his PhD with distinction from Graz University of Technology, Austria in 2007. Through his long research career he has published and presented numerous scientific and technical papers on physical metallurgy, materials modeling, welding and soldering, including a chapter of the ASM Int. Handbook. Dr. Maalekian has won a number of national and international awards, such as from the International Institute of Welding. He serves as a reviewer of several scientific journals and is on the editorial board of “Science and Technology of Welding and Joining.”

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
