The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?
Solder Printing
In this issue, we turn a discerning eye to solder paste printing. As apertures shrink, and the requirement for multiple thicknesses of paste on the same board becomes more commonplace, consistently and accurately applying paste becomes ever more challenging.

Indium Features InFORMS Reinforced Solder Preforms at PCIM Europe 2017
December 8, 2017 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Indium Corporation will feature its reinforced solder alloy fabrications, InFORMS®, at PCIM Europe 2017, which will be held from May 16-18, 2017 in Nuremberg, Germany.
Indium is redefining solder with its InFORMS solder preforms. InFORMS are a composite preform consisting of solder and a reinforcing matrix that, together, increase lateral strength and bondline co-planarity while improving thermal cycling reliability.
When InFORMS were used to solder a DBC to the baseplate of an IGBT, one study showed:
- 4x improved thermal cycling reliability compared to a solder preform-only approach
- 2x improved thermal cycling reliability compared to a solder preform + Al wirebond stitch approach
- Reduced voiding (
- Lower cost of ownership – as a drop-in replacement for a standard preform or solder paste, InFORMS require no additional process steps or equipment
For more information about InFORMS, visit www.indium.com/informs or see Indium Corporation at booth 7-315.
