MYDATA certifies AIM leaded solder paste for jet printing

MYDATA is proud to announce the certification of a new leaded solder paste from leading paste supplier, AIM, for the MYDATA MY500 Jet Printer. The certification is the latest success in AIM and MYDATA’s ongoing work to develop superior jet printing technologies, and follows the launch of AIM’s lead-free paste for the MY500 in 2009.

“Demand for jet printing remained resilient last year, despite generally unfavorable market conditions. Our sales jumped 50 percent in 2009, and we continue to see widespread interest in our technologies,” says Robert Gothner, MYDATA Vice President Marketing and Sales. “Two sectors that appear especially promising are the aerospace and defense industries, where leaded paste is the preferred fluid,” Gothner adds.

“Jet printing offers a vast range of design opportunities for customers. We are delighted that growing numbers of leading solder paste manufacturers are designing products for use with the MY500 Jet Printer,” says Malin Siberg, MYDATA Strategic Product Manager for Jet Printing.

“Jet printing is the perfect technology for customers that operate in a high mix production environment,” says Andrew Clarke, European Business Manager at AIM. AIM continues to market and distribute their solder paste directly to customers. The MYDATA Jet Printer is also compatible with solder paste from Almit, Alpha, Senju, and SMA from Heraeus.
