Indium to Feature Indium8.9HF Solder Paste at NEPCON South China

Reading time ( words)

Indium Corporation will feature its ultra-reliable Indium8.9HF Solder Paste at NEPCON South China, August 28-30, in Shenzhen, China.

Indium8.9HF Solder Paste is an air reflow, no-clean solder paste specifically formulated to accommodate the higher processing temperatures required by the SnAgCu, SnAg, and other alloy systems favored by the automotive electronics industry.

The Indium8.9HF series delivers no-clean, halogen-free solder paste solutions designed to produce low-voiding—plus improved stability—during the printing process. Indium8.9HF:

• Demonstrates consistent printing and reflow performance for up to 12 months in refrigerated storage
• Maintains excellent printing and reflow performance after remaining at room temperature for one month
• Delivers excellent response-to-pause printing performance even after being left on the stencil for 60 hours

With all these qualities, Indium8.9HF solder paste is able to enhance the reliability of automotive products in three ways:

• Improved thermal conductivity and thermal reliability with industry-proven low-voiding performance
• Enhanced mechanical reliability when paired with Indium Corporation’s newest high-reliability alloy, Indalloy®276, which allows for a stable and consistent performance under a harsh environment (Indalloy®276 is ideal for operating temperatures equal to or greater than 125°C)
• Higher electrical reliability with an enhanced SIR

Additionally, Indium Corporation will spotlight Indium10.1HF Solder Paste—an air reflow, no-clean, halogen-free, Pb-free solder paste specifically formulated to achieve ultra-low voiding, especially in automotive applications.

Since training is such a key component in converting an inexperienced new hire into a valued contributor on the manufacturing floor, we asked Brenda Clunie, vice president of sales and operations at EPTAC, exactly how their certification programs deliver on this promise for new hires.

At the Atlanta SMTA Expo and Tech Forum, I met Neil Hubble, president of the metrology systems provider Akrometrix. If you’re not sure exactly what metrology entails, you’re in luck. In this interview, Neil explains why metrology is becoming a critical part of PCB manufacturing. We also discuss the company’s capital equipment, testing services, and why Akrometrix counts many of the top PCB and semiconductor manufacturing companies in the world as their customers.

During factory visits, I've witnessed what’s happened to our workforce after the pandemic. Sometimes it looks like operator separation for social distancing, working extra shifts to cover for lost or missing employees due to illness, workers who now work from home, or they have simply found working no longer suits them. One possible solution when you can’t hire skilled technicians is to look at automation, particularly automation for soldering. For many it was a “feature piece” for the obligatory factory tour just to demonstrate to potential customers they are forward thinking. Now it’s a reality to solve a true workforce shortage issue. But why use a robotic soldering system?
