Cranston, Rhode Island USA. AIM Solder is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming SMTA International. This event takes place October 25-29 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, including the innovative REL61 alloy.
AIM designed REL61 as a drop-in replacement for SAC305. By reducing silver content and incorporating a small percentage of bismuth, REL61 delivers performance equal to or better than SAC305 across all metrics at a much lower price point. With silver prices reaching record highs, there’s never been a better time to switch. Mid- to large-scale manufacturers have already saved hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by converting to REL61. In production for over a decade, a broad range of electronics manufacturers have adopted REL61. This product is available in bar, solid and cored wire, and solder paste for use across all assembly applications.
In addition to participating in the expo at booth #2618, AIM team members are giving presentations at the technical conference and participating in other events, including:
- Women’s Leadership Program Roundtable Discussion at 1:30pm on Monday, October 26
- Technical Talk: Impact of Operation Environment and Flux Residues on the Electrochemical Reliability of In Bi SAC Solder Paste – Sirine Bayram at 2:30pm on Monday, October 26
