AIM’s Timothy O’Neill to Present at IPC APEX 2017

Cranston, Rhode Island USA ― AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, is pleased to announce that Timothy O’Neill, Technical Marketing Manager, will present at the IPC APEX EXPO 2017 taking place February 14-16, 2017 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California.

AIM’s Technical Marketing Manager, Timothy O’Neill, will present his white paper “Assessing the Effectiveness of I/O Stencil Aperture Modifications on BTC Void Reduction” on February 15th, 2017 at the Voiding and Solder Reflow session from 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM. O’Neill’s paper covers the challenges that PCB assemblers face due to the combination of leadless terminations with underside ground/thermal pads, including tilting, poor solder fillet formation, difficult inspection and – most notably – center pad voiding. The study focuses on I/O pad stencil modifications rather than center pad modifications.  It shows a no-cost, easily implemented I/O design guideline that can be deployed to consistently and repeatedly reduce void formation on BTC-style packages.
