AIM Solder is pleased to announce that Timothy O’Neill, Technical Marketing Manager, will present at TEC Warsaw on May 25th, 2017 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Conference Centre in Warsaw, Poland. Additionally, AIM will highlight its revolutionary REL61 lead-free solder alloy, along with its full line of solder assembly materials.
Mr. O’Neill will present the white paper “New Pb-free Alloys for Improved Reliability,” at the technical forum from 10:30 – 11:00 AM. This paper addresses the development of high reliability soldering materials that can perform in harsh service conditions. Applications such has high performance LED lighting and under hood automotive require solder alloys to operate at temperatures as high as 150 °C where commonly used SAC305 could be prone to failure. In this study a novel high reliability lead-free solder alloy with superior creep resistance and mechanical properties is introduced and the soldering and mechanical performance of this alloy is studied and compared with the reference SAC alloy.
AIM will also highlight its innovative high reliability, lead-free solder alloys. REL61TM addresses the most challenging issues with today’s common lead-free alloys, specifically BTC voiding, cost, durability and tin whiskers. REL61TM offers a low cost alternative to SAC alloys, with reliability and performance characteristics superior to SAC305 and other low/no-silver solder alloys. REL22™ is a high reliability, high strength lead-free solder alloy for extreme service environments, with reliability equal to Sn/Ag/Bi/Sb/Ni/Cu and a wider process window. To discover all of AIM’s products and services, visit the company at TEC Warsaw for more information.

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.
