Indium Features High-Reliability Products for Power Electronics at CIPS
March 4, 2022 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Indium Corporation will feature selections from its portfolio of high-reliability solutions for power electronics at the International Conference on Integrated Power Electronics (CIPS), March 15-17 in Berlin, Germany.
Indium Corporation is the leader in power electronics assembly materials as a variety of industries—including automotive, transportation, computing, and energy infrastructure—demand more from power electronics systems. Indium Corporation continues to deliver proven high-reliability material solutions to current and emerging power electronics challenges.
Indium Corporation’s InFORMS® solder preforms do more than just bond two surfaces—they are designed to address specific challenges for the power electronics industry. InFORMS® are a composite solder material with a reinforcing matrix. This results in:
- Uniform bondline thickness
- Improved mechanical and thermal reliability
- Drop-in alternative to traditional preforms leveraging proven processes
InFORMS provide engineers with an enhanced material for the development of more reliable and higher performance modules. Due to the planarity improvements and stand-off tolerances, the package design becomes more predictable. In addition, stronger and more dependable joints allow for high power densities.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
