AIM Announces New Low-Voiding No Clean Solder Paste, V9
May 12, 2022 | AIMEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, is pleased to announce the release of its new low-voiding, no clean solder paste, V9.
Formulated to solve one of the industry’s most difficult challenges, studies have proven V9 to reduce voiding to as low as 1% on BGA and <5% on BTC components while exhibiting stable print performance on fine feature devices over 12 hours. V9 post-process residue is easily probed and possesses the high SIR values required for high reliability applications. Both REACH and RoHS compliant, AIM’s V9 Low-Voiding No Clean Solder Paste is available in SAC305 T4.
“Our studies show that solder joint reliability and thermal dissipation concerns are significantly reduced with V9,” said Timothy O’Neill, AIM’s Director of Product Management. “V9 is proven to improve production yields and product quality, whether printing 0.50 area ratios or eliminating voiding on BGA and BTC packages.”

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.
