Reflow Soldering with Formic Acid

Advanced packaging has continued to evolve with various interconnect technologies on their way towards heterogeneous

Folks, I was reading BBC’s Science Focus Magazine when I came across a reader’s letter to the editor in the October issue on page 12: “Reading the Q&A about fusion power

Viscosity and tack are two important material properties that define a flux. People often “tack” them together as one, thinking they go hand-in-hand. Typically, this is the case, but not

One of the main differences is the temperature and humidity between the two tests. IPC J-STD-004A has a test temperature of 85°C and relative humidity of 85%, while J-STD-004B has a test

Indium Corporation has been making solder preforms for a long, long time.Solder preforms may have been in your first transistor radio (for those of us experienced enough to remember such a

Yeah, that seems like a good way to put it: Flux Chemistry is Oxide Specific. I’ve discussed this for years, and I usually fumble over the words, but it is that

As a young Application Engineer, I was focused on knowing the answer to definite questions. Now I look at data differently – I look for trends. Around 10 years ago testing was done to determine

A fun part of any job is sharing what you do with others. Lately I’ve had the opportunity to share a demonstration of pure indium properties at a few different events. The demonstration of

We’re seeing semiconductor lasers being used in a number of new products from medical to high-speed fiber optic communications. Traditionally, these lasers were used in CD players and laser
