MIDDLETOWN, PA – Phoenix Contact USA and Waldom Electronics Corporation have partnered on a new program that will result in less inventory finding its way to a landfill. The program supports Phoenix Contact’s goal of a carbon-neutral value chain by 2030.

Under the agreement, Phoenix Contact authorized distributors can send non-moving inventory to Waldom for possible resale. Waldom will manage this inventory and can resell the stock to other authorized distributors. The agreement also authorizes Waldom to designate a percentage of sales to fund environmental and plant-a-tree programs.

“By partnering with Waldom, we’re giving our distributors a more sustainable way to manage their inventory,” said Chris Beevers, Director – Electric Channel Management, Phoenix Contact USA. “This partnership is a perfect example of the Phoenix Contact Purpose Statement in action: Together, we are creating a sustainable world based on our passion for technology and innovation.”

“We’re proud to partner with Phoenix Contact — a company that shares our deep commitment to sustainability,” said Don Akery, CEO of Waldom Electronics. “Together, we’re creating more responsible ways to manage slow-moving and excess inventory, advance circularity, and support environmental initiatives like tree planting. Partnerships like this turn shared values into meaningful impact."

DOVER, DE – Luminovo, the number one quoting, procurement and collaboration software for the electronics supply chain, has launched its Ambassador Program in the United States. The initiative is designed to grow Luminovo’s North American presence by tapping into industry professionals who want to share its solutions with their networks and earn referral commissions in return.

The program is aimed at supply chain consultants, electronics and manufacturing experts, and professionals with strong networks in the EMS, OEM, and contract manufacturing space. By referring new business to Luminovo, Ambassadors can earn up to 20% commission on the first year’s contract value for each successful referral. In addition to earnings potential, Ambassadors receive access to helpful materials, an official partner badge, and a dedicated point of contact at Luminovo.

“With this program, a partner can earn tens of thousands of dollars by referring new EMS and CM business to us,” said Sam Mason, business & operations lead – North America at Luminovo. “It’s also a great way for professionals across the electronics supply chain to connect others to tools that truly modernize quoting and procurement.”

Trusted by more than 200 electronics companies globally, Luminovo helps OEMs, EMS providers, and PCB suppliers digitize quoting workflows, centralize data, and reduce manual work. With growing adoption in North America, Luminovo is focused on building strong relationships with regional partners who understand the complexities of today’s supply chain and want to help bring modern solutions to market.

Indium Corporation, a leading materials refiner, smelter, manufacturer, and supplier, today announced the global availability of WS-910 Flip-Chip Flux, a new water-soluble flip-chip dipping flux designed to meet the demands of cutting-edge semiconductor devices.

WS-910 Flip-Chip Flux is designed to provide best-in-class residue cleaning for a water-soluble flip-chip flux, allowing for excellent compatibility with molded and capillary underfill. The new product also offers high tackiness for a flip-chip flux, which is useful when holding large die in place during the reflow process. WS-910 expands Indium Corporation’s extensive line of semiconductor assembly solutions, supporting advanced packaging and high-reliability applications.

Halogen-free WS-910 Flip-Chip Flux delivers several benefits to users, including:

• High tackiness minimizes non-wet open defects and “cold joints”
• Promotes excellent solderability onto a wide range of surfaces
• Ensures consistent yields through consistent dipping performance over extended periods
• Excellent cleaning with pure room-temperature deionized water
• Designed for Pb-free applications and suitable for all high-Sn solders
• Compatible with a wide variety of conventional ultrafiltration and modified ultrafiltration

Indium Corporation’s flip-chip flux series addresses common miniaturization challenges, including thin or warped substrates and fine-pitch, high I/O count assembly. The company offers fluxes in both water-soluble formulations and ultra-low residue no-clean options, which provide a sustainable, low-residue alternative to traditional water-soluble fluxes.
