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

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.
