Indium to Exhibit at productronica China
March 8, 2019 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation will feature its ultra-reliable Indium8.9HF Solder Paste series at productronica China, March 20-22, in Shanghai, China.
The Indium8.9HF series is an air reflow, no-clean solder paste suite specially formulated to accommodate the higher processing temperatures required by the SnAgCu (SAC), SnAg, and other alloy systems favored by the automotive electronics industry.
The Indium8.9HF series delivers no-clean halogen-free solder paste solutions designed to produce low-voiding and improved stability during the printing process. The series also:
- Demonstrates consistent printing and reflow performance for up to 12 months in refrigerated storage
- Maintains excellent printing and reflow performance after remaining at room temperature for one month
- Delivers excellent response-to-pause printing performance, even after being left on the stencil for 60 hours
Indium8.9HF enhances the reliability of automotive products in two ways:
- Increases electrical reliability via enhanced surface insulation resistance (SIR) that inhibits current leakage and dendritic growth
- Improves thermal reliability due to its low-voiding performance on bottom terminating components (BTCs), reducing the risk of application or product failure

I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

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.
