Indium Experts to Speak at Electronics in Harsh Environments Conference
March 15, 2018 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Two Indium Corporation experts will present at the Electronics in Harsh Environments Conference on April 24-26 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Karthik Vijay, Technical Manager for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East will deliver two presentations. Vijay’s first presentation, A Novel Solder Alloy for Service Temperatures of 150–175°C in Automotive Applications, details the performance of a novel SnAgCuSb solder alloy as compared against the Innolot® and SAC305 alloys when reflowed with a standard reflow profile.
Vijay will also present Solder with Engineered Metal Mesh for Improved Bondline Control & Increased Reliability between Substrate and Baseplate in IGBT Modules. This presentation outlines the results of an innovative, drop-in alternative soldering material designed to achieve bondline control on AlSiC baseplates.
Brook Sandy-Smith, PCB Assembly Materials Specialist, will participate in a panel discussion on the Durability for Autonomous Vehicle Electronics – Meeting the Needs as part of the SMTA-iNEMI Interactive Forum.
Vijay is based in the UK and manages Indium Corporation’s technology programs and technical support throughout Europe. His expertise is focused on solder paste, engineered solders, thermal interface materials, and semiconductor-grade electronics assembly materials. Vijay is active in several industry organizations, including IMAPS and the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA), and has presented at industry forums and conferences internationally. He earned his master’s degree in systems science and industrial engineering from Binghamton University, State University of New York.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
