Indium Corporation to Host Power Electronics Webinar
January 18, 2022 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute

The next offering in Indium Corporation’s acclaimed InSIDER Series of webinars will be a discussion on the challenges with high-reliability power electronics assemblies and an overview of some of Indium Corporation's innovative materials solutions. Joe Hertline, product manager – ESM/Power Electronics, will host the webinar on Tuesday, Feb. 8 at 8 a.m. San Francisco/11 a.m. New York/4 p.m. London/5 p.m. Germany.
The InSIDER Series—Indium Corporation’s free webinar program inaugurated in April 2020 – has included more than 30 topics presented to thousands of industry professionals via its live sessions and recordings archive.
As power devices evolve to handle increased power density, higher junction temperatures, and smaller packaging, the enhanced requirements for high-reliability power electronics have posed many challenges to the packaging and assembly processes. In The Challenges of High-Reliability Power Electronics Assembly and the Emerging Materials Solutions, Hertline will analyze the major challenges within substrate- and die-attach applications, as well as provide an overview of the innovative materials solutions that can help achieve high power density and promote better heat dissipation, resulting in highly reliable power devices.
Hertline is responsible for driving the growth of the power electronics product line through development and implementation of marketing strategies supported by customer experience, emerging technologies, and industry feedback. Hertline also collaborates with Indium Corporation’s sales, technical support, R&D, production, and quality teams to serve existing customers and grow new business in his designated market. Prior to joining Indium Corporation in the spring of 2020, Hertline spent more than 10 years as an engineer and product manager in the electronics industry.

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.
