Low-temperature soldering has surged in popularity, driven by increasing technical and manufacturing challenges and a strong emphasis on sustainability. The industry is increasingly focused on developing alloys and processes tailored to diverse low-temperature needs. At Indium Corporation, we’re transforming the electronics manufacturing landscape with our innovative suite of low-temperature soldering materials and decades of expertise in low-temperate applications.
Low-temperature soldering offers both technical and environmental benefits. It helps reduce thermal stress, advance technology for complex designs, and eliminate heat-induced defects like warpages or damage to sensitive components. At the same time, it lowers energy costs and reduces carbon emissions, aligning with environmental regulations and supporting our customers’ sustainability goals.
Low-Temperature Soldering Applications
Attachment to circuit boards
Attachment of temperature-sensitive components to printed circuit boards
Step soldering
Step soldering, when a secondary, lower temperature reflow process is required after a standard SAC soldering process is completed
Eliminate warpage
Eliminating warpage of thinner chips due to high-temperature reflow
IoT devices
Low melting or low-Tg flex circuitry which are used in cellphones, smartwatches, and many internet-of-things (IoT) devices
Large area array devices
Large area array devices – such as BGAs – to avoid head-in-pillow (HIP) and non-wet-open (NWO) failures
