Folks, Some time ago I posted on “The Curse of the Early First Fail” and “Interpreting Weibull Plots.” Both of these posts related to using Weibull analysis to make sound engineering

Most SMT fluxes and solder pastes are either classified as RO or OR. Every once in a while one will see an occasional RE flux. People typically recognize ROL0 and ROL1 classified fluxes and solder

I just can’t get enough of a good thing. My last post mentioned donuts – one of my favorite treats. Allow me to continue reveling in the chewy sweet delight. On Saturdays the kids like to be

Folks, Let’s see how Patty is doing after teaching her first class at Ivy U… Patty arrived at home after teaching her first class at Ivy U and she couldn’t contain her

My colleagues and I have had several conversations with customers wanting to use indium against an aluminum surface, either for the sake of creating a compression seal or thermal path. A troubling

Folks, Let’s look in on Patty…. Patty was really nervous. As a matter of fact, there was no time she remembered being this nervous. The cause of her nervousness? She was going to teach a

The ball-attach process can be considered a trivial step when creating an FCBGA or similar package, but the final soldering step can be rather complex. There are several variables that impact the

Over the last few years, miniaturization, and the drive for increased yields and lower defect rates, have forced the electronics manufacturing industry to focus more on the printing process to obtain

지난 여름 동남아시아에서 인디엄의 기술팀과 저는 주요 장비와 플립칩 침지 공정에 대해 논의할 기회가 있었습니다.

Folks, Pity the solder scientists of the late 1970s and early 1980s. SMT was an emerging technology and the world wanted to buy solder paste. However, the only experience many solder scientists had

Solderability and Wetting The wetting and spreading of solder onto surfaces is an essential part of forming a strong, reliable, conductive joint. The term "solderability"is a way of talking

여러분, 최근 양철 수염에 대한 저의 포스팅을 보고 양철 해충에 대한 기억이 떠올랐습니다. 양철 수염과 관련된 모든 합법적인 신뢰성 문제를 고려할 때, 저는 다음과 같은 사실에 놀랐습니다.

이번 주 중국의 다이 어태치먼트 고객으로부터 땜납의 체적 저항에 대한 흥미로운 질문이 있었습니다. 제 친구인 Eric Bastow가 블로그를 통해 인디엄이 이 정보를 모든 사람에게 제공할 것을 제안했습니다.

People use indium in many forms – to create many different products. Certain forms fit various applications. Here are some of the many forms of pure indium that we provide: Ingot – this

Let’s quickly review the advantages of Bi/Sn/Ag alloy tabbing ribbon coating before we discuss them further: Low temperature melting point Pb-free, by definition Beneficial mechanical

Due to its softness and compressibility, indium is ideal for use in creating a seal. Generally 99.99% indium is adequate for a vacuum, hermetic or cryogenic seal, but higher purities are also

Many people try to determine the volume of solder paste that they will use on a given circuit board or during a full production

Folks, Let’s see how Patty is recovering from her conflict with Hal Lindsay……. Patty saw a link on one of the daily SMT Tech newsletters that piqued her interest. It was titled, “A New Alloy

모든 금속이 서로 잘 어울리는 것은 아닙니다. 이는 전자제품과 그 안에 사용되는 재료의 세계에도 적용됩니다. 비교적 새롭고 관련성이 높은 사례는 RoHS의 출현과 함께 등장한

Folks, It's been awhile, let's see what Patty is up to… Patty was in her office, finishing lunch and reading Golf Digest. She was happy to see Tiger Woods doing better, but a little

Here’s an interesting technology fact I just learned: Indium Sulfide was the very first indium compound to be discovered. I bet Reich and Richter (the discovers of indium) never imagined that
