Current IssueSignal Integrity
If you don’t have signal integrity problems now, you will eventually. This month, our expert contributors share a variety of SI techniques that can help designers avoid ground bounce, crosstalk, parasitic issues, and much more.
Proper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.

Indium Expert to Present on Solder Paste Solutions at SMTA Empire Expo and Tech Forum
September 29, 2025 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Indium Corporation Technical Support Engineer Carson Burt will deliver a technical presentation on solder paste best practices at the SMTA Empire Expo and Tech Forum, to be held October 1 in East Syracuse, New York.
The presentation, Engineering Out Defects: Solder Paste Selection and Handling Best Practices, will focus on solder paste selection, storage, and handling best practices for printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, and will connect the principles to the defect mechanisms they influence. Each best practice is an opportunity to prevent defects and promote a robust assembly process.
“Reliable PCB assembly starts long before the first print,” said Burt. “From the time the paste is manufactured to the moment it’s put on the stencil, disciplined handling protocols preserve and optimize performance.”
Burt is based at Indium Corporation’s global headquarters in Clinton, New York. He is responsible for providing technical assistance to optimize the selection and use of Indium Corporation’s materials, as well as providing product and process training. Burt earned his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Clarkson University, and he is a Certified SMT Process Engineer (CSMTPE).
The presentation will take place on Wednesday, October 1, at 11:00 a.m.
