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.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
