Indium to Feature InFORMS Reinforced Solder Preforms at IMAPS 2018
August 28, 2018 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Indium Corporation will feature its reinforced solder alloy fabrications, InFORMS, at IMAPS 2018, October 8-11 in Pasadena, California.
Indium Corporation is redefining solder with its InFORMS solder preforms. InFORMS are a composite preform consisting of solder with a reinforcing matrix. This results in:
- Improved mechanical and thermal reliability
- Uniform bondline thickness
- Low-voiding performance
InFORMS do more than just bond two surfaces. These solder preforms are designed to address some specific challenges to the power electronics industry.
InFORMS provide engineers with an enhanced material for the development of more reliable and higher performance modules. Due to the planarity improvements and stand-off tolerances, the package design becomes more predictable. In addition, stronger and more dependable joints allow for high power densities.
Visit Indium Corporation at booth #722.
