Indium Corp. (Binghamton, NY) now offers flux-coated solder preforms to support the optimization of electronic assembly processes.
According to the company, flux-coated solder preforms offer several advantages over plain solder preforms, including: improved process time—using the pre-applied, fused flux, the preforms eliminate the need to add flux as an additional process step—and improved accuracy since the process fuses precise amounts of flux onto each solder preform. The system also reduces variability by eliminating process steps and by improving the consistency and accuracy of the flux quantity.
Flux coatings are available in no-clean formulations and the solder preforms are produced in a large range of sizes and shapes, to precisely suit each requirement.
Indium Corp. is a supplier of electronics assembly materials, including solder pastes, solder preforms, fluxes, lead-free solder alloys, underfill materials and die-attach materials. The company is also a supplier of commercial grade and high-purity indium.
