Indium Experts to Present on Power Electronics at PCIM Europe 2025
April 17, 2025 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
As one of the leading materials providers to the power electronics assembly and e-Mobility industries, Indium Corporation experts will share their technical insight and knowledge on a variety of industry-related topics throughout PCIM Europe, May 6-8, in Nuremberg, Germany.
Tuesday, May 6
- Materials Technology for Flux-Free Soldering Applications in Power Electronics by Product Manager for ESM/Power Electronics Joseph Hertline.
- This e-Mobility session will spotlight flux-free soldering applications using Indium Corporation’s Fluxless Assembly Solder Technology (FAST). The talk will outline best practices for flux-free reflow methodologies, including using novel solder paste technology to reduce process steps, cycle times, and improve efficiency in mass production.
- Reducing Effort in Secondary Processes of Power Module Manufacturing Through Adapted Solder Paste Systems by Regional Technical Manager and Technologist for Advanced Applications Andreas Karch.
- This vendor presentation will discuss how optimized solder pastes can minimize or eliminate the need for cleaning processes, thereby increasing the cost-efficiency of manufacturing modern power modules.
Wednesday, May 7
- Design Considerations for Soldering Material Selection in Power Module Package-Attach by Senior Applications Development Engineer for ESM Ryan Mayberry.
- In an e-Mobility-focused session, this presentation will discuss soldering material selection for power module package-attach in EV inverter systems. It will dive into a detailed comparison of advanced solutions like Indalloy®276 and Indalloy®301LT, while showcasing the critical role of InFORMS® in optimizing strength and bondline thickness for solder preforms. The presentation will also examine trade-offs in materials selection based on mission profiles and end-use of systems, with a focus on cost-of-ownership and thermal management.
- The Effect of Accelerated Aging on Solder Shear Strength for Package-Attach in Power Electronics, by Ryan Mayberry.
- This poster presentation will focus on the implementation of a fast, practical solder evaluation method for package- or module-attach applications in power electronics. Shear strength is used as a quantitative test method to establish correlations to key characteristics such as solderability, wetting, delamination, thermal resistance, and thermo-mechanical reliability under accelerated aging conditions.
- Advancements in Formic Acid Soldering Materials Technology for Power Device Packaging, by Product Manager (Semiconductor) Dean Payne.
- This poster presentation will explore a novel flux-free solder paste technology for use in power discrete components and power modules, including die-attach, interconnect, and component soldering. The presentation highlights how formic acid soldering enables ultra-low voiding, optimal RDS-on, and thermal performance. Empirical data will be shared to characterize solder voiding and demonstrate the scarcity of residue under industry-common reflow scenarios, as measured through TGA and surface analysis.

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE): A Valuable Option for Modern Designs
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007When it comes to designing PCBs and full systems for increasingly complex electronics hardware, who doesn’t want to reduce complexity and cost? Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) has emerged as a solution and is gaining rapid attention across industrial electronics and PCB design because it enables Ethernet communication over a single twisted pair, replacing the traditional two- or four-pair cabling used in standard Ethernet networks. This seemingly simple shift has significant implications for designers: smaller connectors, reduced cable weight, longer reach, and the ability to carry both data and power over a single pair.
