Indium8.9 Pb-free solder paste is an air reflow no-clean solder paste that prints perfectly every time.

As CSP, 0201, and 01005 technology is becoming more mainstream, PCB assemblers are challenged with achieving high solder paste transfer efficiency through small stencil apertures. Indium8.9 was formulated to produce consistent print volumes through apertures below the industry recommended minimum area ratio of 0.66. 

From cell phones to motherboards – Indium8.9 does it all. Indium8.9 exhibits low voiding (<5%) over many different profiles when soldering BGAs with via-in-pad technology. It also offers a very robust processing window that can minimize potential defects, as well as accommodate various board sizes and throughput requirements.

Indium8.9 was specially designed to be extremely thermally stable and maintain a soft, pliable residue after reflow.  This means easier probe-testability and fewer false rejects during in-circuit testing.

The performance benefits customers obtain by using Indium8.9 result in increased cost savings and the highest finished goods reliability. www.indium.com
