Indium Corporation Senior Technologist Dr. Ronald Lasky will host a three-part webinar series, Defeating Defects in Electronics Assembly (SMT Process),as part of the company’s free InSIDER Series. Part I will be held on September 12 at 10 a.m. EDT. Parts two and three will be held at the same time on October 17 and November 14, respectively.
Part I will cover best practices in developing an SMT Assembly process that supports low defects in general. This section will include a review of the materials and equipment used in SMT Assembly and important activities, such as how to select a solder paste, design a stencil, and how to set up a reflow oven process.
“At Indium Corporation, we are proud to manufacture materials proven to eliminate defects while ensuring high-reliability solder joints,” said Dr. Lasky. “In addition to delivering these materials, we also believe in the importance of process optimization. This three-part series will provide a clear blueprint for defeating defects in electronics assembly.”
