Indium wire · Low temperature solder wire · Solder products · Solder wire · Unclassified

Low-temperature solder wire is often used in electronics assembly, such as these applications

  • Attachment of temperature-sensitive components to printed circuit boards
  • Step soldering, when a secondary, lower temperature reflow process is required after a standard SAC soldering process is completed
  • Eliminating warpage of thinner chips due to high-temperature reflow
  • Low melting or low-Tg flex circuitry which are used in cellphones, smartwatches, and many internet-of-things (IoT) devices
  • Large area array devices – such as BGAs – to avoid head-in-pillow (HIP) and non-wet-open (NWO) failures
  • Durafuse LT
  • Indium Corp has invented a new low-temperature solder paste called Durafuse LT.  This new alloy reflows at 200°C and uses a novel solder alloy process to bring mid-temperature solder properties into the upper edge of the low-temperature space. This provides greater drop shock and thermal cycling performance as compared to the typical BiSnAg alloys currently on the market.
  • Older legacy low-temp options are brittle and tend to crack when stressed, which make them unsuitable for many applications. Durafuse LT is more robust and increases durability in drop shock, not just incrementally, but by a significant measure. In fact, under the right process conditions, Durafuse LT’s performance is comparable to SAC305.

Low-Temperature Solder Applications

In addition to soldering, Indium Corp provides low-temperature solutions for thermal management, hermetic sealing, fusible alloys, eye glass lens blocking, and more.

Thermal Management

Alloy systems that are liquid at room temperature have a high degree of thermal conductivity, far superior than ordinary non-metallic liquids. This allows for the use of these materials in specific heat-conducting applications, such as heat dissipation in sensitive components during operation, machining, and/or manufacturing.

Other advantages of these liquid alloy systems are their inherent electrical conductivity. Typical applications for these materials include thermostats, switches, barometers, heat transfer systems, and thermal cooling and heating designs.

Hermetic Sealing

Some sealing operations use pure indium and require no heat at all. The sealing process uses mechanical pressure to create the bond. The softness and malleability of indium, in addition to its ability to retain these characteristics at cryogenic temperatures, allows it to fill in imperfections in mating surfaces to create a hermetic seal.

Fusible Alloys

Low-temperature or fusible alloys are commonly used in a variety of safety devices where they are designed to melt at a peak temperature to initiate a process. Eye glass lens blocking is another application where low-temperature or fusible alloys work well. The lens is held in place using a block of the alloy, which is then easily removed with hot water.

Some common fusible alloys are:
