Indium Corporation Introduces Water-Soluble Pb-Free Solder Paste

To meet the high demand of water-soluble solder paste users who need to comply with the Pb-Free requirements, Indium Corporation of America has developed the next generation of Pb-Free Solder Paste, Indium3.1. Indium3.1 is a water-soluble Pb-free solder paste with exceptional printing, ideal for fine-pitch applications. The unprecedented stencil life virtually eliminates solder paste waste.

In addition, Indium3.1 exhibits excellent wetting under both air and nitrogen reflow atmosphere. Any residue is easily cleaned with water. The resultant solder joints are shiny and smooth, including those of ultra fine-pitch components.
