Indium Features Metal Thermal Interface Materials at BiTS Workshop 2017
February 15, 2017 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Indium Corporation will feature its metal thermal interface materials for burn-in, including the Heat-Spring and the HSMF-OS, at the Burn-in & Test Strategies Workshop on March 5-8 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Indium's Heat-Spring is designed for use in the burn-in process. It is patterned to optimize contact with non-planar surfaces and provides 86W/mK of thermal conductivity using a pressure range of only 35-100+ psi. Heat-Spring is available in alloys including InAg, InSn and pure indium.
HSMF-OS is a multi-layer construction with a total thickness of 0.004" that is designed for high insertion capability. The interface, consisting of aluminum and non-silicone polymer, has a tensile strength of approximately 90MPa with a soft, compliant polymer backing, which provides a configuration with "designed-in" insertion survivability.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Solderability Test Methods, Myths, and Realities
11/26/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileSolderability testing answers a simple question: How readily will a termination form a sound solder joint under defined conditions? It is not component preconditioning. Rather, it evaluates wetting—the speed and extent to which molten solder spreads and adheres to a surface—using controlled methods (e.g., visual “dip-and-look” or wetting-balance measurements). Results reflect the combined effects of termination finish, storage and handling, flux activity, and the solder alloy in use.
