Avoid the Void and Maximize Reliability with Low Voiding Solder Pastes

In high-reliability electronics, minimizing voids in solder joints with a low voiding solder paste is essential to ensure optimal performance, durability, and thermal management.

Voids in solder joints are a major concern in high-reliability electronics, especially in applications such as automotive systems, power electronics, and LED lighting. When void levels are excessive, both electrical conductivity and thermal dissipation are significantly reduced — leading to performance degradation and potential failures. Additionally, solder voiding can compromise the mechanical strength of solder joints, risking the long-term reliability of the assembly.

Large-area components like bottom termination components (BTCs) and those with thermal pads underneath (such as DPAK packages) are particularly prone to issues caused by voids in solder joints. This is even more critical in assemblies using BGA and QFN packages, where a bga void can directly impact heat transfer and signal integrity.

To address this, manufacturers increasingly turn to low voiding solder paste technologies designed to avoid the void. These formulations are engineered to minimize the causes of void formation — one of the key contributors being flux outgassing, which can become trapped within the solder during reflow.

By using a low voiding solder paste, it’s possible to significantly reduce the number and size of voids, improving the reliability and performance of the final assembly. Whether it’s minimizing a bga void or enhancing overall joint integrity, selecting the right paste is a critical step toward void-free results.

In summary, to enhance thermal and electrical performance while maximizing mechanical durability, it is essential to choose a low voiding solder paste — and avoid the void.
