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

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
