Indium Corporation Regional Technical Manager and Technologist – Advanced Applications Andreas Karch is set to deliver a presentation at EPP InnovationsFORUM on June 29 in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany.
The topic of energy consumption within the electronics assembly industry has never been more relevant. In this presentation, titled Energy Efficient Reflow Soldering Through Advanced Solder Materials, Andreas examines the increasing importance of reducing energy consumption while simultaneously maintaining high quality electronics. This requires the development of advanced solder materials which enable stable, low-temperature soldering processes.
“I am looking forward to presenting University of Rostock’s test results for this new solder material technology,” said Andreas. “The EPP InnovationsFORUM is an ideal platform to share this exciting data with my colleagues.”
