AIM to Participate at International Microwave Symposium 2019
May 20, 2019 | AIMEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AIM will highlight their full range of specialty joining materials at the International Microwave Symposium, scheduled to take place June 2-7, 2019 at the Boston Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts. AIM will highlight its REL22 electronic solder, which is ideal for automotive microwave applications.
REL22 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.
AIM’s full range of specialty joining materials including indium and gold/tin solders for packaging of microwave & RF components will also be on display. In addition to standard lead free alloys AIM offers Eutectic AuSn, AuGe and indium alloy solders for microwave packaging, die attach, hermetic sealing, thermal management, and numerous other solder assembly applications.
“We are looking forward to participating at this year’s IMS event,” said Brian O’Neill, AIM’s Specialty Materials Manager. “We are anticipating a great show and countless opportunities to connect and provide support to prospective and current AIM customers in the area.”
To discover all of the products AIM’s Specialty Division offers, including gold-tin, indium and lead-free solders, visit the company at booth #1412, June 2-7.

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.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
