AIM to Participate in SMTA Dallas Expo and Tech Forum
February 28, 2019 | AIM SolderEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AIM Solder announce their participation in the upcoming SMTA Dallas Expo and Tech Forum taking place on March 19, 2019 at Plano Event Center in Plano, Texas. AIM Solder will highlight its REL electronic solders and its new RX18 and CX18 cored solder wire.
REL22TM is an award-winning, high reliability alloy 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. REL61TM 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.
AIM will also feature its new cored wire solders, RX18 and CX18. The award-winning RX18 is engineered for automated soldering and promotes thermal transfer, fast wetting and reduces voids/skips. With an operator friendly, low odor/smoke formula, CX18 extends the solder tip life and leaves clear, minimal residues.

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.
