Indium Features Gold Alloy Solder Preforms at SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing Expo
February 16, 2017 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Indium Corporation will feature its precision gold alloy solder preforms at SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing Expo, which will be held from April 9-13 in Anaheim, California.
Depending on the alloy, gold-based solders have a melting point ranging from 280°C to 1064°C, making it compatible with subsequent reflow processes. In addition, gold-based solders are resistant to corrosion, provide superior thermal fatigue resistance, and exhibit excellent joint strength.
Indium's AuSn preforms have the highest tensile strength of any solder, ensuring high-reliability for joining and sealing. AuSn preforms are designed for high-reliability applications, such as aerospace, defense, and medical.
Semiconductor-grade preforms are designed to meet the challenges faced as RF and power semiconductor devices continue to get smaller, with power density increasing both as a consequence of the shrink and as a result of increased power ratings.
About Indium Corporation
Indium Corporation’s Pb-free and RoHS-compliant preforms are available in a variety of standard and custom-engineered designs. For more information about Indium Corporation’s gold alloy solder preforms, visit booth 121.

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.
