Indium to Feature AuSn Solder Preforms at IMS 2018
May 25, 2018 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation will feature its precision AuSn solder preforms at International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2018 from June 10-15 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Indium Corporation’s AuSn preforms have the highest tensile strength of any solder, ensuring high-reliability for joining and sealing. The semiconductor-grade AuSn preforms are designed to meet the challenges facing RF and power semiconductor devices as they continue to get smaller, with increasing power density and power ratings.
Depending on the alloy, gold-based solders have a melting point ranging from 280-1064°C, making it compatible with subsequent reflow processes. In addition, gold-based solders are resistant to corrosion, provide superior thermal fatigue resistance, and exhibit excellent joint strength.
Indium Corporation’s Pb-free and RoHS-compliant AuSn solder preforms are available in a variety of standard and custom-engineered designs. The Gold Preform Quick Turn Program, offers engineering support from design to production, and can result in a quick turnaround for new design, tool, or prototype quantities.

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.
