Indium Corporation has earned the IEEE Malaysia Section Outstanding Industry Award (Innovation) for its InFORMS® brand of reinforced solder preforms. The award was presented during a ceremony on June 24 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Outstanding Industry Awards recognize outstanding achievements and unwavering commitment in providing advanced materials and innovative solutions.
InFORMS® are reinforced solder preforms that provide improved strength and a more consistent bondline thickness, which maximizes the thermal and mechanical reliability of the solder joint. InFORMS® can be manufactured in a wide variety of shapes, including rectangles and discs, as well as custom shapes to suit specific application requirements. They also come in the form of ribbon for automated assembly.
“As an advanced materials innovator, our belief that materials science can change the world is present in every one of our products,” said Senior Country Sales Manager, Malaysia Damian Santhanasamy. “We are honored to have InFORMS® recognized by IEEE Malaysia Section for its innovative ability to reduce costs by maintaining uniform bondline thickness.”

The Knowledge Base: The Pivotal Role of Solder Paste
09/16/2024 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseIn the complex world of electronics manufacturing, the humble solder paste plays a pivotal role. Often overshadowed by more conspicuous electronics assembly equipment and materials, this blend of powdered metal and flux is the unsung hero that binds the electronic circuits together. But beyond its adhesive and conductive properties, the selection of the right solder paste is crucial for ensuring the long-term reliability of electronic devices.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
09/13/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineAt the top of my list is “Silicon to Systems,” an interview with technology experts from IPC: Matt Kelly, Devan Iyer, and Kris Moyer. Also, this week, we hear from I-Connect007 Managing Editor Nolan Johnson, who’s been in Mexico for SMTA Guadalajara. Speaking of Mexico, I want to highlight an interview that appeared in IPC Community between Lorena Villanueva and Barjouth Aguilar of Flex, who talk about the importance of sustainability. I wrap up my recommendations with articles about solder printing and wet process control.
Making Waves With Solder Paste Jetting
09/11/2024 | Josh Casper, Horizon SalesAs electronics shrink and PCB density grows, traditional solder deposition methods such as stencil printing face significant challenges. One solution making substantial waves is solder paste jetting. Solder paste jetting is no secret. In fact, the development and commercialization of this technology has been around since the early 2000s. So, why now? We’ve arrived at a time in which the maturity of this technology has intersected with new demands of electronics manufacturing.
Scrutinizing Solder Printing
09/10/2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007As members of the technical staff at Indium, Adam Murling, technical manager, and Ron Lasky, senior technologist and professor at Dartmouth University, know their way around metallurgy and solder formulation. I corralled them for a conversation on solder application techniques from the solder’s perspective and their insights did not disappoint.
