AIM Solder was pleased to host a technical seminar for its customers at AIM Soldadura de Mexico on October 25, 2018. AIM Soldadura de Mexico is one of the largest and most prestigious solder manufacturers in Mexico.

In the company’s state-of-the-art applications lab, Manuel Munguia, Senior Technical Support Engineer, gave a number of demonstrations on topics such as profiling, sampling a solder pot and measuring flux applications. While highlighting the benefits and implications of finer mesh solder powder on critical aspects of solder paste performance, attendees also got a better understanding of key variables. This included powder size, effect of room-temperature storage, pause time and PCB feature types.

With AIM’s continued success in Mexico throughout the last 20 years, our commitment to train and support our employees and customers is ever-growing. These technical seminars, hosted in our facilities, are an integral part of this process.
