Indium to Showcase Durafuse Technology at EPP InnovationsFORUM
June 1, 2022 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation will showcase its innovative Durafuse technology at the EPP InnovationsFORUM on Tuesday, June 28 in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany.
The harmful effects of lead on human health and the environment are driving the development of high-temperature lead-free (HTLF) solders to replace high-Pb solders for die-attachment and clip-bond in power device applications. Indium Corporation’s innovative Durafuse HT features a novel design based on a mixed-alloy technology, designed to deliver a tin-rich HTLF paste, presenting the merits of both constituent alloys. Durafuse HT delivers:
- Simplified processing; Durafuse HT is a drop-in replacement for high-Pb solder, with no special equipment needed and minimal process adjustments
- Enhanced thermal cycling reliability; equal or higher than high-Pb solder
- Lower RDS(on) compared to high-Pb solder
Indium Corporation’s award-winning Durafuse LT is a patented low-temperature alloy system designed to provide high-reliability in low-temperature applications that require a reflow temperature below 210°C. Durafuse LT delivers:
- Improved drop shock performance more than two orders of magnitude better than Bi-containing low-temperature materials
- Drop shock performance equal or better than SAC305 with proper process optimization
- Ideal characteristics for step soldering and low-temperature requirements

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.
