Indium Corporation's Engineered Solder Material Expert to Present at SMART, ESTC Conferences


Indium Corporation's Technical Manager for European Operations Karthik Vijay will present at two upcoming technical conferences in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

Vijay's first presentation is at the SMART Group European Conference and Exhibition in Thame, Oxfordshire, UK, on September 18. The presentation, Solder Paste Attributes for Maximizing the Print & Reflow Manufacturing Window, focuses on solder paste performance requirements for some sophisticated defects, such as head-in-pillow and graping. He will also discuss the use of engineered solder preforms to fortify the solder joint.

Vijay's second presentation is at ESTC in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on September 20. This presentation, Power Electronics - Solder TIMS for Superior Thermal Management, discusses the superior performance of solder-thermal interface materials (TIMs) versus thermal grease and pads in power electronics (IGBT, RF, microwave modules).
