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.
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
