Indium Corporation Introduces AuSn Pastes for High-Power LEDs
June 10, 2022 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation® has expanded its portfolio of proven pastes with two new AuSn pastes designed for the higher processing temperatures and assembly needs required for use in high-power LED module array applications, such as automotive, infrastructure, and horticulture.
Indium Corporation produces a wide range of solder paste products to meet the current and evolving needs of the industry. High-power LEDs have the ability to provide much higher levels of light output than traditional LEDs while also providing higher levels of performance, leading to a longer lifetime of the device. Due to the large amount of heat generated—in such a localized area—a high-melting and high-reliability solder is required for assembly.
It is also critical to the LED assembly process that the solder interface between the diode and its substrate is void-free in order to generate a stable transmission of light and allow for the transfer of the tremendous heat generated by the diodes to maintain the temperature stability of the device.
AuLTRA™ 3.2 and AuLTRA™ 5.1 are AuSn solder pastes specifically formulated to accommodate higher processing temperatures while providing high reliability.
AuLTRA™ 3.2 offers:
- Water-soluble flux
- Air or nitrogen reflow
- Superb wetting
- Low-voiding
- Long open life, reduced waste
AuLTRA™ 5.1 offers:
- No-clean residue
- Air or nitrogen reflow
- Superb wetting
- Low-voiding
- Long open life, reduced waste
Both pastes are offered in a variety of AuSn alloys and powder sizes. In addition to being ideal for use in high-power LED module array applications, AuLTRA™ 3.2 and AuLTRA™ 5.1 are applicable for all AuSn paste applications as their performance has been, and continues to be, proven in the field.

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.
