Indium Corporation Launches Rel-ion™ Technology for e-Mobility

With its significant automotive industry expertise and an award-winning portfolio of proven products, Indium Corporation^® is announcing a line of material solutions for e-Mobility. The Rel-ion™ suite of electrical, mechanical, and thermal solutions are designed to be reliable, scalable, and proven materials, reducing electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers’ time to market.

As multiple new EV-only automakers have emerged in recent years—due in part to lower cost of entry, climate change, and environmental government policies—it has created a demand to launch new competitive EVs that didn’t exist within the legacy original equipment manufacturer (OEM) marketplace. In this rapidly-expanding EV market, reliability and reduced time to market will take the front seat as key differentiators between the many product offerings now available from EV start-ups and legacy manufacturers.

More than 2 million EVs are on the street with Indium Corporation’s Rel-ion™ suite of products. Rel-ion™ material solutions deliver reliability by:

• Eliminating non-wet opens and head-in-pillow defects
• Preventing dendritic growth by meeting stricter surface insulation resistance requirements
• Preventing solder delamination with precise bondline control and increased creep and fatigue resistance
• Reducing hot spots-induced voiding through improved thermal efficiency

Some of the products available include:

• Award-winning Durafuse™ LT, a patented mixed-alloy technology that provides superior drop shock performance to conventional low-temperature solders, outclassing BiSn or BiSnAg alloys, and performing better than SAC305 with optimum process setup.
• The Indium8.9HF Solder Paste Series, an industry-proven solder paste series that delivers no-clean, halogen-free solutions designed to enhance electrical reliability, improve stability during the printing process, and deliver low-voiding for high-reliability automotive electronics.
