AIM Solder is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming SMTA Tijuana Expo and Tech Forum. This event takes place November 13 at Quartz Hotel Tijuana in Mexico. 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.
In addition, SIM Technical Support Manager Manuel Mungia will be presenting on “When to Downsize your Solder Paste: Is it Time for Type 5?” at 12:30pm.
Abstract: As electronics assemblies become more complex and miniaturized, manufacturers may find themselves questioning whether it’s time to transition from Type 4 to Type 5 solder paste. This presentation provides a practical guide to evaluating when downsizing is beneficial, addressing key considerations such as stencil design, printability, defect prevention, and more. We will explore borderline cases where switching may not be straightforward, offering data-driven insights and best practices to ensure an optimized soldering process.
