In this issue, we turn a discerning eye to solder paste printing. As apertures shrink, and the requirement for multiple thicknesses of paste on the same board becomes more commonplace, consistently and accurately applying paste becomes ever more challenging.
A Culture of Thriving
One cannot simply command thriving; it must be nurtured, developed, and encouraged. In this issue, we explore strategies to improve your working relationship model—both internally and externally. In this culture of thriving, your business will grow in the process.
Certifications
Certifications have historically been seen as a cost of doing business, but how do we turn them into a positive ROI and a value to both customer and vendor?

Indium to Showcase Durafuse Solder Technology at Productronica India
September 2, 2024 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
As one of the leading materials providers to the electronics assembly industry, Indium Corporation® is proud to feature its innovative Durafuse® solder technology at Productronica India, September 11-13, in Delhi, India.
Indium Corporation will showcase the following among its featured products:
- Durafuse® LT is an award-winning solder paste alloy system with versatile characteristics that enable energy savings, high reliability, and low-temperature step soldering. It's ideal for assemblies with large temperature gradients and large BGAs with complex warpage profiles. Durafuse® LT delivers superior drop shock performance, outperforming conventional low-temperature solders like BiSn or BiSnAg alloys, and even outperforms SAC305 with optimal process setup.
- Durafuse® HR, based on novel solder paste alloy technology, delivers enhanced thermal cycling performance (-40°C/125°C and -40°C/150°C) and superior voiding performance for high-reliability automotive applications. It also offers reduced solder joint cracking and increased shear strength.
- Durafuse® HT is an innovative Pb-free solution designed to deliver a high-temperature lead-free (HTLF) paste for discrete power electronics devices. Durafuse® HT can “drop in” to the current high-Pb die-attach paste process, with no special equipment needed. Functional performance and thermal cycling reliability are both equal to or higher than a high-Pb solder.
Some of the additional products featured will include:
- Indium8.9HF Solder Paste Series, an industry-proven solder paste series, delivers no-clean, halogen-free solutions designed to achieve high surface insulation resistance (SIR) and improve stability during the printing process for high-reliability automotive electronics.
- Indalloy®301 LT Alloy for Preforms/InFORMS® is a novel Pb-free alloy that enables lower processing temperatures in preform soldering compared to SAC alloys.
- SiPaste® series is specifically designed for fine feature printing with fine powders ranging from Type 5 to Type 8. They help Avoid the Void®, reduce slumping, and demonstrate consistent superior printing performance.
- Heat-Spring® solutions, ideal for TIM2 applications, is a compressible, non-reflow metal TIM. These indium-containing TIMs offer superior thermal conductivity over non-metals—with pure indium metal delivering 86W/mK in all planes.
- NC-809 is Indium Corporation’s first no-clean, ball-attach flux on the market. NC-809 is a dual-purpose flux, engineered with high-tack characteristics for flip-chip applications with strong wetting power for ball-attach applications.

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.
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.
