Indium to Feature Void-reducing Solder Paste at SMTconnect 2019
March 7, 2019 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation will feature its void-reducing Indium8.9HF Solder Paste series to help customers Avoid the Void at SMTconnect, May 7-9, in Nuremberg, Germany.
The Indium8.9HF series is a proven product that delivers no-clean, halogen-free solder paste solutions designed to produce low-voiding—plus enhanced electrical reliability and improved stability—during the printing process. Under optimal process conditions, this series:
- Exceeds all requirements for enhanced electrical reliability and SIR performance
- Demonstrates consistent printing performance for up to 12 months when refrigerated
- Maintains excellent printing and reflow performance after remaining at room temperature for one month
- Delivers excellent response-to-pause, even after being left on the stencil for 60 hours
- Resists premature flux spread to prevent surfaces from oxidizing
- Performs with both Pb and Pb-free alloys
The Indium8.9HF Solder Paste series provides a unique oxidation barrier technology that eliminates HIP defects and graping, making them perfectly suited for automotive assembly and a variety of electronics assembly applications. In fact, the product meets HKMC MS184-01 testing criteria Type B, one of the toughest automotive criteria to ensure reliability.
For information on how Indium8.9HF can help you Avoid the Void, visit Indium Corporation in hall 5, booth 310.

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.
