Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Indium Powers the Future with Advanced Materials Solutions at CIPS 2026
February 26, 2026 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
As a leading provider of advanced materials solutions for power device packaging, Indium Corporation® will feature its lineup of high-reliability products at CIPS – International Conference on Integrated Power Electronics Systems, March 10-12, in Dresden, Germany.
Company products to be highlighted include the following:
- Formic Acid Soldering Technology (FAST) is an ideal reflow method for power device packaging. Product offerings, including preforms, InFORMS®, and novel solder pastes, enable high-reliability, flux-free soldering that is ideal for efficient manufacturing of next-generation power electronics.
- Durafuse® HT is an innovative high-temperature lead-free paste that is ideal 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 those of a high-Pb solder.
- InFORMS® are reinforced solder preforms that improve mechanical strength and produce consistent bondline thickness for superior reliability performance compared to traditional solder preforms, particularly in power module applications.
- Indalloy®301LT for Preforms/InFORMS® is a novel Pb-free alloy that enables lower reflow-processing temperatures compared with SAC alloys, preventing delamination and reducing warpage in package-attach soldering applications.
- InFORCE® pressure sinter pastes are high-metal, low-organic content sinter materials available in both silver and copper. Its low-organic content composition affords short drying times for increased throughput and less volume reduction between wet and post-sintered deposits, reducing the paste amount required.
- InFORCE®29 is a range of pressure Cu sinter pastes for applications where high reliability and high thermal conductivity are critical. Applications for InFORCE®29 include die-attach for Si and SiC power devices and substrate-attach of power modules directly to coolers.
