Heraeus Electronics Launches New Innolot 2.0 Solder Paste

Reading time ( words)

Heraeus Electronics is pleased to announce the release of its new Microbond® SMT660 Innolot® 2.0 no-clean printing T4 solder paste. The new high reliability, high performance solder paste provides a competitive TCO offering. Based on Heraeus Electronics’ proven experience, Innolot 2.0 allows a wide process window, enabling soldering in air with a low defect rate. Additionally, it is designed to offer an optimized formulation for lower costs.

The requirements for mobility are changing worldwide. Electrification and automation of vehicles lead to high demand for cost- and performance-efficient materials. These are required to meet the increasing need for safety and support systems such as advanced driver assistance systems, increasingly intelligent control units, as well as in-car entertainment systems. The increasing demand is accompanied by harsher requirements for components and materials as well as TCO challenges.

With its new approach through Microbond® SMT660 Innolot® 2.0 for highly reliable and cost-effective solder alloys for automotive applications, Heraeus Electronics introduces the ability to maintain a competitive Total-Cost-of-Ownership, while fulfilling emerging requirements. The next generation of Innolot® alloy offers reduced cost while maintaining the well-known features of higher creep resistance, resulting in longer product life cycles at higher operating temperatures. The Microbond® SMT660 Innolot® 2.0 solder paste performs in the air without additional N₂ during reflow, while keeping defect rates low, reducing your TCO. 

The flux Microbond® SMT660 uses an acrylic based synthetic resin eliminating potential batch-to-batch variations when using natural raw materials. Due to its low impurities and the flux design, a high SIR performance is achieved. As a result, SMT 660 reduces the risk for electrochemical migration. The combination of the flux with Innolot® or Innolot® 2.0 alloy delivers a solder paste with superior reliability – especially in miniaturized systems in the automotive industry.

Nolan Johnson talks with Senior Product Manager Chris Nash of Indium Corporation, who discusses Durafuse LT, a novel solder paste mixed alloy system with highly versatile characteristics that enable energy savings, high-reliability, low-temperature, step soldering, and assemblies with large temperature gradients. It also provides superior drop shock performance to conventional low-temperature solders, outclassing BiSn or BiSnAg alloys, and performing better than SAC305 with optimum process setup.

In this Q&A, Rob Rowland, director of engineering at Axiom Electronics, discusses his new IPC APEX EXPO Professional Development course, “Reflow Profiling Simplified,” on how to create a standardized methodology to accurately generate new reflow soldering profiles. Rob explains, “In this class, I’ll explain how I approached this work to help others develop similar methodologies for creating their own reflow soldering profiles. My presentation also includes the basic reflow profile recipes I have been using for the past 20 years.”
