AIM to Exhibit at IPC APEX EXPO 2018 in San Diego
January 30, 2018 | AIMEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AIM Solder is pleased to announce their upcoming attendance at IPC APEX EXPO 2018 taking place February 27 – March 1, 2018 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. AIM will highlight their revolutionary REL61 and REL22 lead-free solder alloys, along with their full line of solder assembly materials.
AIM REL61 was developed to provide PCB assemblers and designers with an enhanced reliability, cost-effective replacement for SAC305 and other low/no silver alloys. REL61 outperforms all lead-free alloys in durability, wetting performance, thermal cycling performance, and BTC void performance. Available in paste, wire and bar solder formats, REL61 can be incorporated into all phases of PCB assembly. For the most extreme operating environments be sure to learn about REL22. AIM’s innovative REL alloys are engineered for reliability, usability, and cost effectiveness.
Along with their REL products, AIM will showcase its full line of advanced solder materials, including its solder pastes, liquid fluxes, tin/lead and lead-free alloys. Visit AIM at IPC APEX EXPO 2018 at booth #1211 at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, California for more information and to speak with one of AIM’s knowledgeable staff members.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
