Current IssueThe Path Ahead
What are you paying the most attention to as we enter 2025? Find out what we learned when we asked that question. Join us as we explore five main themes in the new year.
Soldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?

Indium Corporation Announces New High-Reliability, Low-Temperature Alloy
April 11, 2023 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Indium Corporation has released a new, bismuth-based low-temperature alloy developed for low-temperature reflow processes which require enhanced thermal cycling reliability.
Indalloy303, also known as Bi+, is an innovative alloy that retains the low reflow temperatures required for temperature-sensitive processes while enhancing the lifetime reliability of the solder joint beyond that of traditional low-temperature solders.
As a low-temperature, Pb-free solution, Indalloy 303 offers:
- A reflow temperature as low as 170?
- Excellent thermal cycling performance
- Resistance to hot tearing
- Compatibility with SAC in hybrid BGA joints
- Low voiding
Indalloy303’s flux vehicle, Indium5.7LT-1, is an air-reflow, halogen-free, no-clean solder paste designed for assembly processes using Bi-based and In-containing low-temperature alloys. It delivers:
- Superior print transfer efficiency
- Clear post-reflow flux residue
- Solder bead and solder ball minimization
- Exceptional wetting on OSP, Immersion Ag, Immersion Sn, and ENIG
- Excellent coalescence of small deposits
- Outstanding SIR performance under challenging low-temperature reflow conditions
