Indium Earns NSW Visionary Partnership Award
February 4, 2022 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation has earned a Visionary Partnership Award from NSW Automation for the development of its innovative Indium12.8HF Solder Paste following an appreciation ceremony in January.
“At Indium Corporation, we are proud of our continued commitment to collaborate with our partners to create materials solutions for current and emerging industry challenges,” said Sze Pei Lim, global product manager, semiconductor and advanced materials. “Indium12.8HF is a versatile paste that’s optimized for the challenges of miniaturization and long-term microdispense applications, including those that require precision deposits. We thank NSW Automation for this recognition.”
Indium12.8HF is a no-clean, halogen-free solder paste that is inherently compatible with Indium Corporation’s best-selling solder paste—Indium8.9HF—and is optimized for long-term jetting and microdispense applications. Originally formulated for micro-LED applications, Indium12.8HF has proven to be useful in a wide range of applications requiring precision dot diameter/line width deposits down to 80?m.
Additionally, Indium12.8HF:
- Meets IPC J-STD-004B with Amendment 1 ROL0 requirements
- Offers exceptional electrical reliability
- Minimizes graping and similar reflow issues with a unique flux oxidation barrier formulation
- Delivers aesthetically pleasing clear residue with minimal flow-out
- Provides minimal reflow spatter compared to similar solder pastes
- Has a long working (syringe) life

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.
