Air Products to Demonstrate Electron Attachment Activated Hydrogen Technology at IPC APEX Expo

Air Products will highlight advances in its proprietary electron attachment (EA) technology for soldering applications at the IPC APEX Expo in San Diego, Calif., from February 19-21. IPC APEX attendees can stop by Air Products Booth #2708 to learn about the advantages of EA activated hydrogen over plasma-based and flux-based processes for cleaning soldering surfaces during electronics assembly and packaging. These advantages include improved solder wetting, lower reflow temperature, decreased overall voiding tendency, and no flux residue-related problems.
