The Balver Zinn Group announces that it will exhibit in Hall 4, Booth #231 at SMT Hybrid Packaging scheduled to take place May 16-18 in Nuremberg, Germany. The Balver Zinn Group will highlight the company’s latest products, technologies and services.
The upcoming SMT trade show in Nuremberg is the German platform to discover the brand new solder SN100CV. Balver Zinn is a pioneer in lead free solders and as exclusive licensee we present Nihon Superiors new patented SN100CV lead-free micro-alloyed solder. The industry standard SN100C has been improved by the addition of bismuth which has positive effects on the reliability of the solder joints. The SN100CV alloy offers high reliable solder joints which are recommended for high-end and automotive electronics.
Also at the show, the Balver Zinn group will introduce a wide range of adhesives for different electronics applications such as semiconductor assembly, automotive and consumer electronics. SMTA-0240 is a solvent-free, one component, pre-mixed, thermoset epoxy based adhesive. It has been designed especially for the bonding of surface mount devices, to printed circuit boards, prior to the wave soldering process.
SMTA-0240 is characterized by excellent stencil print-ability, resulting in high dot profiles, without aperture-stringing or tailing.
It can resist temperatures over 200ºC for short periods of time and has been used in lead-free processes with peak temperatures of 270ºC.
The Balver Zinn group will introduce the latest flux technology Cobar BF-1301 wave soldering flux.
Cobar BF-1301 is the latest alcohol based organic flux technology which exhibits exceptional wetting in combination with highest possible SIR of the residues. Using this flux in a nitrogen atmosphere will lead to the lowest residue which is very beneficial for pin testability and coat ability of the products. Higher first pass yields will be achieved and will reduce the cost of production.
Also on display at SMT Hybrid Packaging will be Cobar solder paste, Spectrocheck DEMO-machine and live soldering sessions with Hakko soldering stations.

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.
