Two Indium Corporation experts will present at the Electronics in Harsh Environments Conference on April 24-26 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Karthik Vijay, Technical Manager for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East will deliver two presentations. Vijay’s first presentation, A Novel Solder Alloy for Service Temperatures of 150–175°C in Automotive Applications, details the performance of a novel SnAgCuSb solder alloy as compared against the Innolot® and SAC305 alloys when reflowed with a standard reflow profile.
Vijay will also present Solder with Engineered Metal Mesh for Improved Bondline Control & Increased Reliability between Substrate and Baseplate in IGBT Modules. This presentation outlines the results of an innovative, drop-in alternative soldering material designed to achieve bondline control on AlSiC baseplates.
Brook Sandy-Smith, PCB Assembly Materials Specialist, will participate in a panel discussion on the Durability for Autonomous Vehicle Electronics – Meeting the Needs as part of the SMTA-iNEMI Interactive Forum.
