Indium Corporation's Briggs to Present at Capital Expo & Tech Forum
August 13, 2015
Indium Corporation’s Ed Briggs, Senior Technical Support Engineer, will present at the SMTA Capital Expo & Tech Forum, Sept. 1, in Laurel, Md.
Briggs’ presentation, Transition From Water-Soluble to No-Clean Solder Paste – Just How Easy Is It?, compares the printing and reflow characteristics of water-soluble and no-clean solder pastes to demonstrate the ease of converting to a no-clean soldering process. Briggs will also share a simple strategy to enable the small process changes necessary to make the switch from water-wash to no-clean solder pastes. Peripheral processes such as cleaning and rework will also be covered.
