Benefits of Partnering with AIM

AIM Understands Automotive Industry Challenges

Automotive Applications

The automotive industry maintains some of the strictest reliability standards. Extreme temperature changes, humidity, sunlight, and vibration are some of the demands placed on automotive electronics. AIM is an ideal partner in the high reliability automotive industry because our products are engineered to perform in harsh environments and eliminate assembly defects.

Precise Displays and Vivid Entertainment

Today’s vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art displays that make reading your speed, switching your audio, or viewing your blind spot easier than ever. Newer displays are composed of MiniLED or MicroLED components, which require innovative soldering materials to assemble.

High Power, Intelligent Illumination

LEDs have proven to keep up with the durability requirements of the automotive industry while delivering intelligent, precise lighting that make your driving experience stress-free no matter the weather. AIM offers solutions that regulate heat dissipation, improve SIR performance, and increase overall solder joint reliability.

Durability Even in Extreme Conditions

Whether in traffic on the highway or on an off-roading adventure, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are built to endure extreme conditions. This means the electronics under the hood must perform when exposed to elevated temperature/humidity and resist vibration damage. AIM puts our products to the test to ensure mechanical and electrical reliability that weathers any storm.

Safe and Reliable Systems

The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in your vehicle respond faster than you can, preventing accidents and saving lives. These life-saving systems are only as effective as the electronics they are made of, which means the durability of the soldering materials within them must be proven in the lab and on the road. AIM’s Auto line of products are designed to keep you safe and offer improved reliability.

Smart and Stress-Free Roads Ahead

Electric vehicles (EV) and their corresponding charging stations are putting new demands on circuit board assemblies. When your safety and mobility is dependent on an electric system, failure is not an option. AIM is prepared with innovative solutions that meet the emerging and future requirements of the EV market.
