Indium Features Flip-Chip and Ball-Attach Fluxes at SEMICON Taiwan
August 24, 2018 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation will feature its Flip-Chip Flux WS-446HF and Ball Attach Flux WS-823 at SEMICON Taiwan 2018 September 5-7 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Indium Corporation’s WS-446HF is a water-soluble, halogen-free flip-chip dipping flux with an activator system powerful enough to promote wetting on the most demanding surfaces; from solder-on-pad (SoP) to standard and embedded trace substrates (ETS) and flip-chip on leadframe applications. WS-446HF provides uniform dipping performance over extended periods of time. It also exhibits tackiness that is suitable for holding large die in place during assembly.
WS-823 is a water-soluble, halogen-free ball-attach flux designed for use in pin transfer and printing applications for ball attachment to substrates (BGA manufacturing). WS-823 has an activator system powerful enough to promote wetting on the most demanding substrate metallizations, such as copper OSP. WS-823 is cleanable with just DI water only.
From water-soluble and ultra-low/near-zero residue no-clean flip-chip fluxes to system-in-package (SiP) water-soluble and no-clean solder pastes, Indium Corporation has an industry-proven portfolio of products that meet the current and evolving challenges encountered in fine-pitch SiP and Heterogeneous Integration applications.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
