AIM to Highlight REL61 and REL22 Alloys at IPC APEX EXPO 2019
December 21, 2018 | AIM SolderEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AIM Solder announces their upcoming attendance at IPC APEX EXPO 2019 taking place January 29-31, 2019 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. AIM will highlight their revolutionary REL61 and REL22 lead-free solder alloys, along with their full line of solder assembly materials.
REL61 is ideally suited for industries which require a cost effective alternative to SAC305 with no loss of processing performance or durability. REL61 provides significant advantages over other no/low silver alloys by offering better flow characteristics at lower temperatures, thus reducing PCB damage and assembly costs. Additionally, when combined with AIM’s award winning M8 solder paste, REL61 can lower peak reflow temperature and thermal exposure as well as improve aesthetics and solder joint performance.
REL22 has been developed to address reliability and production quality issues common to similar multi-element alloys. Both internal and customer testing has proven that REL22 improves product survival in extreme thermal exposure operating environments such as under-hood automotive, avionics/aerospace and LED lighting. The physical characteristics of REL22 make it ideal for applications where thermal shock, vibration and g-forces as high 22,000g are experienced.
Along with their REL products, AIM will also showcase its full line of advanced solder materials, including solder paste, liquid flux and solder alloys. Visit AIM at IPC APEX EXPO 2019 in Booth # 3225 at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA for more information and to speak with one of AIM’s knowledgeable staff members.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
