    Applications
    Driving Reliability - Automotive

    Automotive Electronic Assembly

    Indium Corporation’s suite of proven, high-reliability materials, from solder paste to solder preforms, thermal interface materials, innovative solder alloys, metals, and compounds offers enhanced performance in automotive electronics assembly and packaging applications.

    Brazing & High-Temperature Soldering

    High-Temperature Soldering & Brazing

    Indium Corporation is the leading joining and bonding materials innovator for semiconductor packaging and assembly and PCB assembly applications. With over 200 alloys available, we have alloy solutions for temperatures up to 1,100°C.

    3D EZ Release™ Print Plate

    3D EZ Release Print Plate

    Indium Corporation is introducing the patent pending 3D EZ Release system for print plates used in powder bed fusion (PBF) printers. This system makes the removal of parts after 3D metal printing fast and simple.

    PBF printers are capable of creating the most advanced metal parts, in a wide variety of build materials. However, in the standard PBF process, the printed parts are fused to the build plate and need to be mechanically separated using an electrical discharge machine (EDM), wire saw, or some other form of cutting tool. This can be time consuming and costly.

    Connector & Cable Assembly

    Connector & Cable Assembly

    Indium Corporation has two options available for connector pin soldering: Standard Washers & Solder Tubes.

    Power Electronics Packaging & Assembly

    Power Electronics Packaging & Assembly

    A variety of industries including automotive, transportation, computing, and energy infrastructure, are demanding more and more from power electronics systems. As this trend continues, it is critical that we continue to research, develop, and apply materials that address thermal, voiding, and all-around reliability challenges. Indium Corporation is the leader in power electronics assembly materials and leverages a broad portfolio of proven high-reliability solders, alloys, and thermal interface products to enable emerging power electronics solutions.

    Sealing

    Sealing

    Indium Corporation offers materials for hermetic and cryogenic sealing, as well as for pass-throughs. These mission critical applications require unwavering assurances and reliability.

    Soldering to Gold

    Soldering to Gold

    Gold (Au) is often used in electronics assembly because it does not oxidize or tarnish to any appreciable extent. This makes gold ideal for plating contact surfaces for switches and connectors.

    Thermal Evaporation & PVD Coating

    Thermal Evaporation & PVD Coating

    Indium Corporation offers thermal evaporation materials for thin-film deposition. The purity of source material is as important as the equipment used for deposition. We offer the high quality materials and experienced technical support to help you get the most from your physical vapor deposition (PVD) process.

    Thermal Management

    Thermal Management

    Indium Corporation is the leader in metal thermal interface materials (TIMs).

    All of our thermal interface materials are metal-based, which means they have a very high conductivity as compared to polymer-based thermal interface materials.
