AIM Solder is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming SMTA International 2025. This event takes place October 19-23 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. 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 Gayle Towell will also be giving a technical presentation titled “Exploring the Feasibility and Challenges of a Low-Temperature Alloy in Wave Soldering Applications” during the event. The presentation at 4:00 PM on Tuesday, October 21 evaluates the performance of a SnBi-based LT alloy in wave soldering across different metrics. Results include careful examination of thermal profiles, wetting performance, and overall solder joint quality including cross sections. This investigation provides insight into the practical application of a select LT alloy in wave soldering, offering PCB assemblers information into their potential for broader use in the electronics manufacturing industry.
