Current IssueFueling the Workforce Pipeline
We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.
Inner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.

AIM to Host SMT High-Reliability Technology Seminar in China
December 4, 2017 | AIM SolderEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
AIM Solder will co-host the SMT Electronics Assembly High-Reliability Technology Seminar in Shenzhen, China on December 8, 2017. AIM will present two of its most recent papers at the seminar.
Derek Wang, Technical Support Manager, will present the white paper titled “An In-Depth Look at a New Low Cost and High-Reliability Alloy Alternative to SAC305 and Low-/No-Silver Alloys.” His presentation will cover the evolution of lead-free soldering and the limitations of SAC305, the current standard for lead-free electronics soldering. It will explore the effects of nickel, bismuth and other micro-alloy dopants on mechanical and soldering performance.
Flopy Feng, Technical Support Engineer, will present AIM’s paper “The Impact of Reduced Solder Alloy Powder Size on Solder Paste Print Performance,” which highlights the benefits and implications of finer mesh solder powder on critical aspects of solder paste performance. In this study, the key input variables included powder size, effect of room temperature storage, pause time and PCB feature types. Output included print transfer efficiency, volume repeatability and performance stability over time.
This free seminar, hosted by AIM, Axxon, Mycronic, and Zestron, will be held at the Silicon Valley Power Vehicle Electronic Business Park in Shenzhen, China. For more information, please contact Michelle Peng via email at mpeng@aimsolder.com or by phone at 130-6694-5432.
