The upcoming SMTA High Reliability Cleaning and Conformal Coating Conference, taking place August 29-31 in Dallas, Texas, U.S., will feature presentations by two Indium Corporation experts. Both presentations will take place on August 31.
First, Global Head of e-Mobility and Infrastructure Brian O’Leary will participate in a keynote panel presentation titled Strengthening e-Mobility Infrastructure: Overcoming High-Voltage and Environmental Challenges.
The recently introduced U.S. standard requiring 97% up-time performance, combined with the global expectations of consumers and fleet operators for robust and durable EV infrastructure capable of withstanding harsh outdoor conditions, is driving manufacturers to develop weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and outdoor-friendly solutions with advanced features. This technical presentation will explore the critical elements of producing e-Mobility modules and the difficulties in maintaining reliability and durability under high voltage, current, and temperatures in electric vehicles and charging stations.
Later in the afternoon, Technical Support Engineer Matt Gruber will deliver a presentation titled A Sustainability Look at a Reliable Low-Temp Process.
Reducing energy consumption is of increasing interest in SMT assembly industries for both cost and sustainability initiatives. However, despite new demands on manufacturers, reliability expectations remain and, in many sectors such as Healthcare and Automotive, have increased. Gruber will examine the energy-saving potential of compounding reflow and cleaning process modifications in circuit board manufacturing. He will also evaluate the assemblies for surface insulation resistance (SIR) and ionic contamination with the goal of providing manufacturers with confidence and guidelines for low-temperature soldering and cleaning implementation.
