Current IssueThe Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.
Fueling 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.

Indium to Showcase Proven EV Products and High-Reliability Alloys at Productronica China
March 26, 2025 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
As a global materials supplier and trusted partner in electric vehicle (EV) and e-Mobility manufacturing, Indium Corporation® is proud to showcase its high-reliability alloys and soldering solutions at Productronica China, March 26-28, in Shanghai, China.
With 10 years of expertise in EV manufacturing and more than 10 million electric vehicles using its advanced materials, Indium Corporation will showcase its Rel-ion™ product suite. These products offer reliable electrical, mechanical, and thermal solutions designed to accelerate manufacturers’ time to market. Rel-ion™ material solutions enhance reliability by:
- Eliminating non-wet opens and head-in-pillow defects
- Preventing dendritic growth by meeting stricter surface insulation resistance requirements
- Preventing solder delamination with precise bondline control and increased creep and fatigue resistance
- Reducing hot spots-induced voiding through improved thermal efficiency
Indium Corporation will focus on the following featured products:
- Durafuse® LT is an award-winning solder paste alloy system with versatile characteristics that enable energy savings, high reliability, and low-temperature step soldering. It is ideal for assemblies with large temperature gradients and large BGAs with complex warpage profiles. Durafuse® LT delivers superior thermal cycling and drop shock performance, outperforming conventional low-temperature solders like BiSn or BiSnAg alloys, and it even outperforms SAC305 with optimal process setup.
- Durafuse® HR, based on novel solder paste alloy technology, delivers enhanced thermal cycling performance (-40°C/125°C and -40°C/150°C) and superior voiding performance for high-reliability automotive applications. It also offers reduced solder joint cracking and increased shear strength.
In addition, Indium Corporation will showcase the following products of high-reliability materials powering sustainability:
- Indalloy®301LT for Preforms/InFORMS® is a novel Pb-free alloy that enables lower reflow processing temperatures compared to SAC alloys, preventing delamination and reducing warpage in package-attach soldering applications.
- InTACK® is a no-clean, no residue, halogen-free adhesive solution developed for holding parts in place during placement and reflow processes.
- Durafuse® HT is an innovative Pb-free solution designed to deliver a high-temperature lead-free (HTLF) paste for discrete power electronics devices. Durafuse® HT can “drop in” to the current high-Pb die-attach paste process, with no special equipment needed. Functional performance and thermal cycling reliability are both equal to or higher than a high-Pb solder.
- Heat-Spring® is a compressible, non-reflow metal TIM ideal for TIM2 applications. These indium-containing TIMs offer superior thermal conductivity over non-metals, with pure indium metal delivering 86W/mK in all planes. Because of its solid metal state, Heat-Spring® avoids pump-out and bake-out problems. It also offers a sustainable solution due to the company’s indium reclaim and recycle program.
- InFORCE™ is a series of high-reliability pressure sinter pastes, offering copper and silver formulations with excellent thermal conductivity. Optimized for printing, large-area sintering, and low-temperature processing, they offer innovative solutions for advanced die-attach and package applications.
