As mentioned last time, the standard IPC metal loading test leaves a lot to be desired as a reliable test of the quantity of metal in a solder

Experiencing soldering defects? Need help with your SMT electronics assembly process? There's a tool for that. Statistical tools, like the Ishikawa Diagram, help map out a process and provide an

I have been receiving some questions recently about colored or dyed PoP

The Indium Corporation marcom department has compiled the list of trade shows in which we will have a presence in 2016. It isn't complete yet, and it is still quite large! The location of a trade

As mentioned in an earlier blog post , a solder paste's alloy type, powder particle size distribution (PSD), and metal loading (weight of metal as a percent or "%w/w") affect the

Patty, Rob, and Pete were quite sure they understood the confusion in the Cpk = 1 issue, but wanted to make sure they discussed it with the Professor. After a brief chat with him, they called ACME

Lately, I've been paying attention to coworkers who are challenging themselves, doing great work, and moving upward in the company. This is nothing particularly new, but always noteworthy. In one

Although Indium Corporation was founded in New York State(and maintains our corporate office here) in the USA, we have strong ties to a great many areas around the world. One being Germany. Indium

Traveling in Malaysia recently, I met up with an old friend (and customer). We got talking about “lifetime” of solder paste: how long could the material survive various process steps

One of the key components of the soldering process is flux.Without the right flux to remove the oxides, you can end up with a poor solder joint. Things only get worse from there. Since our customers

Folks, As Patty was walking past the Professor’s office on her way to see Pete and Rob, she decided to drop in. “Professor, I got the strangest phone call … a man claimed he had

For those of you reading my blog for the first time, you will see that my main focus is on Wave Soldering. I recently completed a series on “preheating” where I talked about the different
