AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, is pleased to announce that Timothy O’Neill, AIM’s Technical Marketing Manager, and Karl Seelig, AIM’s Vice President of Technology, will present at IPC APEX 2016 March 15-16, 2016 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
O’Neill will present his white paper “The Impact of Reduced Solder Alloy Powder Size on Solder Paste Print Performance” at the Solder Paste Development technical conference on March 15, 2016 from 3:30–5 pm located in S225 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. O’Neill’s paper covers the demand for increased functionality in smaller spaces for electronics and how solder paste manufacturers need to incorporate finer metal powder in solder paste to facilitate ultra-fine pitch printing.
Seelig will speak at the High-Reliability Lead-Free Solder Alloys technical conference scheduled for March 16, 2016 from 10:30 am–12 pm located in S224 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. This session will cover the increasing demand for high-reliability electronics, which is driving an increase in demand for lead-free solder alloys that exhibit more robust thermal cycling and mechanical characteristics.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
