(July 2, 2010) — Indium Corporation introduced solar cell assembly tabbing and bus ribbon kits. The kits, which contain common-sized tabbing and bus ribbon and fluxes for photovoltaics applications, are available in three versions, including one with a Pb-free, bismuth-containing, low-temperature coating.

“The kits are a valuable tool for scientists and engineers to efficiently experiment with different coatings and fluxes at both traditional and low temperatures in an easy-to-handle, low-cost kit system. The fluxes are designed to work in both manual and automated assembly processes,” said Bill Jackson, director of solar products. The fluxes were developed by Indium Corporation’s R&D team, led by Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee.
The three versions of the kit include: tin/silver (SnAg), bismuth/tin (BiSn), and tin/lead/silver (SnPbAg) and can be ordered through Indium’s online ordering system.
Indium Corporation is a materials supplier to the global electronics, semiconductor, solar, thin film and thermal management markets. Products include solders, preforms, and fluxes; brazes; sputter targets; indium, gallium, and germanium chemicals and sourcing; and Reactive NanoFoil®.
