April 13, 2016 | AIM SolderEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, is pleased to announce their participation at the 2016 SMTA Monterrey Expo and Tech Forum, scheduled to take place April 14th, 2016 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (Apodaca) in Monterrey, Mexico.
AIM will highlight their revolutionary M8 No Clean Solder Paste, formulated to address the most demanding requirements confronting today’s SMT assembly market. M8's post-reflow residue passes all IPC, BONO and tough changing environment test specifications, making it the ideal choice for automotive and high performance/high reliability applications. M8’s robust characteristics and stable performance improves every facet of the PCB assembly process.
Additionally, AIM’s Technical Marketing Manager, Timothy O’Neill, will present his white paper, “A Practical Guide to Optimizing Solder Paste Performance for Ultra-Fine Feature Printing” at the technical forum from 4:00pm – 5:00pm. O’Neill’s presentation will provide a detailed explanation of how to optimize solder paste performance from receiving to reflow. His presentation incorporates theory with best practice to inform the process engineer of the how, what and why of solder paste use.

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.
