Indium to Showcase Technical Content at PCIM Europe E-Mobility Area and Forum
April 11, 2019 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation will showcase material from its vast library of technical content during the E-mobility Forum at PCIM Europe 2019 from May 7-9 in Nuremberg, Germany.
Trade visitors will be able to visit the E-mobility Area to examine specialized booths focused on electromobility, including new developments and challenges in power electronics due to the evolving electric automotive industry. Additionally, Indium Corporation will deliver a presentation at the E-mobility Forum on May 9.
Seth Homer, product manager, engineered solders, will present "The Impact of Solder Alloy Integrity in Power Electronics," which discusses the role of solder alloys on power electronics designs amid challenges for improved reliability and performance. Some of the criteria to be discussed include alloy homogeneity, purity, and the impact of dimensional tolerances.
Homer has more than 20 years of industry experience in both manufacturing operations and marketing roles. He is responsible for many of the company’s engineered solder products, especially as it relates to the power electronics industries. He travels to customer sites globally to gain industry insight and works closely with Indium Corporation’s manufacturing teams to help support current production demand and future product development.
Indium Corporation will also feature high-reliability materials for automotive power solutions on the forum’s poster wall. Specially formulated to address a variety of issues in the automotive industry, these products include the following:
- Indium8.9HF Solder Paste offers enhanced electrical reliability and no dendritic growth.
- InFORMS optimizes solder volume with high-reliability solder preforms and ribbon.
- Heat-Spring and HSMF thermal interface materials (TIMs) provide superior thermal management in power modules.
Indium Corporation is also exhibiting at the show and will feature the high-reliability products reviewed in their experts’ presentations, as well as other high-performance thermal interface materials designed to improve first yields.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
