Other Benefits of a Good Solder Joint

Proper solder joints provide mechanical, electrical, and thermal interconnections that are reliable over the course of a product’s lifespan.  Unreliable interconnections not only cause product failure, but extend the products time-to-market, cause recall/redesign issues, and increase the amount of rework and line maintenance necessary to keep up with product demand.

 

 

 

 

 

Successfully forming a solder joint in most situations is easy, although demanding applications often call for unique alloys, difficult surface finishes, and non-recommended reflow windows.  If you are struggling with these types of issues, searching the internet may not be the fastest way to find a solution.  Send us a question at askus@indium.com or call (315) 853-4900 for a much more custom fit answer to your one-of-a-kind problem.
