AIM Solder is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming SMTA Penang Expo & Tech Forum. This event takes place September 24-25 at Iconic Marjorie Hotel Penang in Malaysia. As a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, AIM will be showcasing cutting-edge soldering materials. These include Type 5 solder paste offerings as well as finer solder paste solutions.
In celebration of emerging trends in electronics miniaturization, AIM has declared 2025 the “Year of Type 5”. AIM’s decades of experience producing high-quality solder pastes makes the company uniquely positioned to guide customers through the transition to finer powders. In addition, AIM develops products with a focus on consistency, reliability, and process optimization coupled with robust technical support. While Type 5 solder paste won’t replace Type 4 as the industry standard this year, its adoption is accelerating. Learn how demand for precise and consistent soldering is driving this trend.
AIM’s Mhanny Aguillo will also be giving a technical presentation at the event titled, “When to Downsize: Process Considerations and Market Drivers for Transitioning to Type 5 Solder Paste.” This presentation will provide practical guidance on evaluating when downsizing is beneficial, addressing key considerations such as stencil design, printability, defect prevention, and more. It will explore borderline cases where switching may not be straightforward, offering data-driven insights and best practices to ensure an optimized soldering process.
