Gold-based alloys offer strong joints, excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, and good thermal and electrical transfer at the joint. Our gold solder portfolio includes wire, paste, preforms, and ribbon. They are manufactured with cutting-edge technology to ensure quality as well as push the boundaries of precision.
Higher yields and cost per unit make gold a viable option for many applications, even though the initial cost is more than alternative solders. A low oxygen atmosphere may be required if the application is flux free. In some instances, pressure is required to promote strong, void-free reflow on horizontal services.
When I was learning about solder, I was very surprised when I received a call inquiring about fluxless soldering. Trulyproviding a goodsolder jointwithout using flux; pretty selfexplanatory. Ever
Two categories of solder are available to choose from when the in-service environment for a device reaches above 125°C either in continuous operation or thermal cycling accelerated life
Indium and indium-containing alloys see wide use in a multitude of soldering applications. Indium has many attractive properties such as remaining ductile at cryogenic temperatures, compatibility
The use of gold layers deposited onto nickel is standard in many industries, from DRAMmemory module edge connectors, to electrical test probe contacts, to power semiconductor die metallizations and
Eutectic Gold Tin (AuSn) with a composition of 80Au20Sn is a unique material. This particular alloy of gold tin (AuSn) is considered a solder because it has a melting temperature of 280ºC, which
The demand for hermetic packages that house laser diodes is growing, and companies that traditionally made RF/microwave packages are now expanding their businesses into optical packages. What makes
