AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, announced today their attendance at the 2nd Annual Flex Invitational which took place on May 5th, 2016 in Guadalajara, Mexico at El Cielo Country Club. The Flex Invitational Golf Tournament is held as a charity event to help raise awareness and money for children with cancer at the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara.
AIM participated in the 2nd Annual Flex Invitational Golf Tournament to help raise money to benefit the Vivan los Ninos con Cancer AC Foundation. All proceeds were given to the Vivan los Ninos con Cancer AC Foundation to purchase a Spectra Optia® Apheresis System for Hospital Civil de Guadalajara. This system is a transportable therapeutic apheresis system that uses continuous flow centrifugation and optical detection technology. The Spectra Optia® Apheresis System allows operators to spend more time focusing on patient care during protocols such as mononuclear cell collection, bone marrow processing, and therapeutic plasma exchange.
“We are glad that we had the pleasure to contribute with Flex for such an important cause,” said Rodrigo Cacho, AIM’s Latin America Sales Manager. “I have been working with AIM for twelve years and I am proud to be part of a company that sincerely cares about putting people first and helping those in need.”

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.
