Indium Expert Presents at SMTA Rocky Mountain
January 20, 2016 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation’s Brandon Judd, Technical Support Engineer, will present at the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) Rocky Mountain chapter meeting on Jan. 26 at the Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado.
Judd will present The Benefits of Flux-Coated Solder Preforms in a QFN Assembly Process. This discussion will include a description of how solder preforms with modern flux coatings are used in conjunction with the appropriate solder paste to help reduce voiding under QFNs. He will also share the design and process parameters to ensure optimal results.
Judd provides technical support for Indium Corporation’s advanced SMT assembly materials, including solder pastes, thermal interface materials, fluxes, and engineered solders. He specializes in optimizing SMT lines, and has expertise in stencil printing parameters and reflow profiling. In addition to providing technical support, he performs testing on new products in Indium Corporation’s Advanced Materials and Process Development Lab.
Judd has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering technology from the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute. He is an SMTA-certified process engineer and earned his Six Sigma Green Belt from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
