Indium Features New Fluxes at productronica China
March 11, 2019 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation will feature its new Flip-Chip Flux WS-446HF and Ball Attach Flux WS-823 at productronica China, March 20-22, in Shanghai, China.
Indium Corporation’s WS-446HF is a water-soluble, halogen-free, flip-chip dipping flux with an activator system powerful enough to promote good wetting on the most demanding surfaces - including solder-on-pad (SoP), Cu-OSP, ENIG, embedded trace substrates (ETS), and flip-chip on leadframe applications. WS-446HF provides:
- Excellent solderability to reduce open joints
- Tackiness suitable for holding large die in place during assembly and reducing die tilt
- Chemistry that eliminates dendrite issues
- Reduced voiding
- Good cleanability
WS-823 is a water-soluble, halogen-free, ball-attach flux designed for use in pin transfer and printing applications for ball attachment to both substrates (BGA manufacturing) and wafers for WLP (wafer-level packaging). WS-823 offers:
- Excellent solderability on some of the most demanding substrate metallizations, such as copper OSP
- Lower process costs and warpage due to the elimination of “pre-fluxing”
- Consistent flux deposition
- Good tack during heating combined with fast soldering eliminates missing ball
- Low-cost simplified cleaning
Both WS-446HF and WS-823 are cleanable with just DI water only.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
