Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

AIM Solder's Timothy O'Neill, technical marketing manager, will present at the SMTA Upper Midwest Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place on June 22, 2017 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Minneapolis - Park Place Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Additionally, AIM will highlight its revolutionary REL61™ lead-free solder alloy, along with its full line of solder assembly materials.

O’Neill will present the white paper “Benefits and Implications of Finer Mesh Solder Powder,” at the technical forum. This study evaluates the benefits and implications of finer mesh solder powder on various aspects of solder paste performance. Some of the studied variables include print transfer efficiency, print life, wetting, coalescence and process stability.

AIM will also highlight its innovative high reliability, lead-free solder alloys. REL61 addresses the most challenging issues with today’s common lead-free alloys, specifically BTC voiding, cost, durability and tin whiskers. It 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.
