See TopLine’s Next Gen Braided Solder Column Technology at SPACE TECH EXPO 2025
May 28, 2025 | TopLineEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Aerospace and Defense applications in demanding environments have a solution now in TopLine’s Braided Solder Columns, which can withstand the rigors of deep space cold and cryogenic environments. They are a robust new ‘Next Gen’ solution to challenges facing large packages in electronics assembly.
On June 3 & 4, Martin Hart, President of TopLine Corporation and holder of multiple patents in the field of electronic components, will exhibit these remarkable breakthrough component solutions at Space Tech Expo 2025 in Long Beach, California in Booth #623.
“Braided Solder Columns are non-collapsible, robust and compliant electrically conductive connectors used for reducing stress caused by CTE mismatch between the component device and the PC board,” Hart says. “Columns are more reliable than solder balls, especially when connecting large-size chip packages to PC Boards operating in cryogenic environments. Additionally, they are available with lead for Aerospace & Defense applications, but also available in lead-free designs for RoHS AI Datacenters, for example.” For more information about the show, visit SPACETECHEXPO.com.
TopLine will also exhibit examples of TANAKA Bonding Wire; TANAKA Precious Metals is the premier manufacturer of bonding wire to the semiconductor industry. TopLine is a supplier of TANAKA bonding wire for many semiconductor uses and for EV applications.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/26/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007What a year it’s been! I don’t think anyone could have anticipated the level of shake-up that was to come on the global trade scene when U.S. President Donald Trump came into his second term in January, but the drama that has ensued rivals anything ever aired on “The Apprentice.” However, I am somewhat heartened by our current position compared to how things felt in Q2 of this year. Much remains to be worked out, but as we sprint into the new year, there are three things I know for sure: 1) Working in tech is never dull—you will not be bored in 2026; 2) Expect to work very hard; and 3) Business, like life, will go on no matter what. I hope you enjoy my picks for week: all good reads for different reasons. Happy New Year!
