Microtronic to Intro Heavy Duty Solderability Tester at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2017
April 17, 2017 | Microtronic GmbHEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Microtronic GmbH is pleased to announce that it will introduce its new LBT210-HD (Heavy duty) Solderability Tester in Stand 221J in Hall 5 at SMT Hybrid Packaging, scheduled to take place May 16-18, 2017 in Nuremburg, Germany. Microtronic remains the technology leader with the only heavy duty automatic and PC-controlled solderability tester. The revolutionary system is designed to meet today’s current industry challenges, accommodating heaver or larger parts that will not fit existing testers.
With the launch of the LBT210-HD, the maximum weight of a part that can be tested is now for forces up to 300mN instead of 40mN on the standard LBT210. Ernst Eggelaar, President of Microtronic commented, “This will be a major step for customers that could not test large parts or connector pins in the past. Previously there were not any systems designed to handle larger parts. Now Microtronic can offer this.”
The system is operated by using molten solder and measures the wetting force of the molten solder to the test part. This ensures a true value of the solder process. The system supports measurements using the common methods with a solder bath or a solder globule. All industry standards including IPC, IES, NF, MIL and JEDEC are supported.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
