Heraeus Electronics Wins 2023 GLOBAL Technology Award for Solder Alloy Innovation

Nov 20, 2023

Heraeus Electronics is proud to announce its receipt of the prestigious 2023 GLOBAL Technology Award in the category of Solder Paste. The award highlights the contribution made by Heraeus Electronics' Microbond® SMT660 Innolot® 2.0 solder paste. The award was announced during an award ceremony that took place at productronica in Munich on Nov. 14, 2023.

Heraeus Electronics' Microbond® SMT660 Innolot® 2.0 solder alloy is innovating the automotive industry's approach to highly reliable and cost-effective solder alloys. This solution empowers manufacturers with the ability to maintain a competitive Total-Cost-of-Ownership (TCO) while satisfying emerging industry requirements.

The Microbond® SMT660 Flux in combination with either the well-known Innolot® or the new Innolot® 2.0 alloy delivers exceptional performance and reliability, further solidifying Heraeus’ commitment to innovating bonding materials in the automotive electronics landscape. 

The Microbond SMT660 Series offers exceptional reflow performance, standing out for its excellence in the reflow process without the need for additional nitrogen (N2). This feature effectively minimizes defect rates and contributes to a reduced Total-Cost-of-Ownership (TCO) for manufacturers. Heraeus Electronics' innovation aligns seamlessly with the industry's quest for reliability and cost-efficiency, making the Microbond SMT660 Innolot 2.0 solder alloy an indispensable asset for the automotive sector.

The GLOBAL Technology Awards, established in 2005, have become an industry benchmark, celebrating exceptional standards and groundbreaking solutions within the global SMT and advanced packaging industry. The award recognizes companies and individuals who consistently drive the industry forward with their outstanding innovations.
