Indium Corp will be exhibiting a number of Pb-free soldering products at APEX on Booth 1347.
Solder can be clad onto one or both sides of the base material.
Copper-cored preforms (solder clad onto both sides) are proving to be desirable for several applications.
These solder-clad materials can be produced in a full range of shapes and solder alloys.
In addition, the base metal can be made from various alloys.
A full range of packaging options are offered including: bulk, trays, palettes, and tape and reel configurations.
Solder-clad materials find use in a variety of electronic and mechanical joining and bonding applications, including: jumper discs, gap-filling and strength-enhancing.
According to Indium's Director of Fabricated Solder Products, Ross Berntson, "Clad preforms are the solution to several unique challenges".
"The added strength and durability of the base metal, coupled with the simple soldering process, has enabled several new designs and improved many existing ones." Clad solder preforms can be specified in many of the nearly 300 alloys offered by the company, including Pb-Free.
Clad solder preforms are offered in a large variety of shapes and sizes.
In addition, many clad solder preforms offer the option of flux coating which can improve quality, efficiencies, and total production cost.
