Indium to Feature Indium8.9HF Solder Paste at NEPCON South China
August 1, 2018 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation will feature its ultra-reliable Indium8.9HF Solder Paste at NEPCON South China, August 28-30, in Shenzhen, China.
Indium8.9HF Solder Paste is an air reflow, no-clean solder paste specifically formulated to accommodate the higher processing temperatures required by the SnAgCu, SnAg, and other alloy systems favored by the automotive electronics industry.
The Indium8.9HF series delivers no-clean, halogen-free solder paste solutions designed to produce low-voiding—plus improved stability—during the printing process. Indium8.9HF:
- Demonstrates consistent printing and reflow performance for up to 12 months in refrigerated storage
- Maintains excellent printing and reflow performance after remaining at room temperature for one month
- Delivers excellent response-to-pause printing performance even after being left on the stencil for 60 hours
With all these qualities, Indium8.9HF solder paste is able to enhance the reliability of automotive products in three ways:
- Improved thermal conductivity and thermal reliability with industry-proven low-voiding performance
- Enhanced mechanical reliability when paired with Indium Corporation’s newest high-reliability alloy, Indalloy®276, which allows for a stable and consistent performance under a harsh environment (Indalloy®276 is ideal for operating temperatures equal to or greater than 125°C)
- Higher electrical reliability with an enhanced SIR
Additionally, Indium Corporation will spotlight Indium10.1HF Solder Paste—an air reflow, no-clean, halogen-free, Pb-free solder paste specifically formulated to achieve ultra-low voiding, especially in automotive applications.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

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.
