Solders
Flux-Cored Wire
Indium Corporation offers flux cored solder wire used in hand soldering and automated processes during photovoltaic module assembly operations. CW-807 is a standard no-clean flux with clear residues and is available with Sn/Pb, Sn/Pb/Ag and SAC305. Manufactured at Indium's Chicago facility, which employs the most modern equipment and experienced work force, our flux-cored wire is void-free, made with tight dimensional tolerances, operator friendly and widely adopted by PV module manufacturers worldwide.
Solder Wire
Solder Wire from the Indium Corporation is made to demanding quality standards. Our flexible manufacturing process allows us to fulfill orders from evaluation/research quantities to full scale production volumes. We offer over 100 alloys in various diameters.
Indium Corporation specializes in InAg based solder wire typically used in Thin-Film Module assembly processes. Learn more about our Indium containing solders here.
Solder Preforms
Indium Corporation solder preforms are used extensively in CPV applications to mount III-V silicon dies, bypass diodes and to provide a metallic thermal interface when mounting CPV receiver substrates to a heatsink. Our solder preforms are in the field today in thousands of CPV modules around the world and standup to IEC standards including CPV thermal cycling demands.
Preforms come in custom and standard shapes such as squares, rectangles, washers and discs. Dimensions can be held to tight tolerances to assure volume accuracy.
A wide assortment of alloys is available in liquidus temperatures that range from 47°C to 1063°C. Alloys can be indium-contained, gold-contained, lead-free, fusible or standard tin-lead, as well as many others.

The Perfect Sputtering Target Bond
Why do we care so much about target bonding? This is important because a sputtering target that truly performs will allow greater process flexibility, and higher throughput. An introduction from Eliminating Bond Stresses of Sputtering Targets at Operating Temperatures: “…It was observed…
NanoBond® is a Fluxless Process
Fluxes are an interesting element of working with many solder applications. With so many specialized fluxes there is usually a perfectly-tailored flux for removing oxides from any solderable surface. Even though we love fluxes at Indium Corporation – not all of our customers share that same affection. It…
High Temperature (Braze Alloy) Sputtering Target Bonding, with NanoFoil®
In an earlier post I mentioned one of the presentations we gave at the 2013 SVC TechCon. The other presentation that our team delivered at the show (presented by Jacques Mateau) regarded another very interesting topic. The paper, High Temperature, Pb-Free, Metallic Sputtering Target Bonding…
