Indium Corporation’s Chris Nash, Product Manager, PCB Assembly Materials, will participate in a Global SMT & Packaging voiding panel on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time (3:45 p.m. British Time/10:45 p.m. Malaysia Time).

Voiding under bottom termination components (BTCs) is a major industry challenge. As BTCs generate considerable amounts of heat during operation, it’s important to ensure voids do not form during reflow soldering, as they could potentially cause end-product overheating and field failures. During this panel, Is the Void Avoidable?, experts will examine the many approaches available to limit and mitigate the effects of voiding. The panel will be followed by a live Q&A session.
