July 6, 2023 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
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.”
