AIM to Participate in IPC APEX EXPO 2021 Online Exhibition
March 5, 2021 | AIM SolderEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, is pleased to announce their participation in the upcoming IPC APEX EXPO 2021 Online Exhibition taking place March 8-12, 2021 on https://www.ipcapexexpo.org/. AIM will be highlighting the highly anticipated, new W20 Water Soluble Solder Paste.
AIM's W20 solder paste provides assemblers another tool to meet the changing needs of an evolving PCB assembly market. W20 is a zero halide/halogen flux formula engineered for enhanced wetting performance on all solderable electronic surfaces. W20 exhibits excellent print characteristics and 8+ hours of stencil life. Its highly soluble residues are easily removed in plain water, even under low stand-off components.
Along with W20, AIM will also showcase its full line of advanced solder materials, including solder paste, liquid flux and solder alloys. Search for AIM Solder in the IPC APEX EXPO 2021 Exhibitor Directory to add to your personal attendee planner or to request an appointment to speak with one of AIM’s knowledgeable staff members.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. 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.
