Amerway Exhibiting High Purity Solder Products, Solutions at SMTAI 2017
August 25, 2017 | Amerway Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Amerway Inc. will be exhibiting a full range of premium solder products including solder bar, wire, fluxes, and custom alloys at SMTA International 2017, which will take place at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, on September 17-21. Amerway will be in in Booth 1134.
In addition to their own premium products, Amerway also offers Balver Zinn Cobar Solder Products including the well-known lead-free SN100C family of alloys.
Amerway has also recently partnered with metals waste recycler Conecsus LLC to offer customers a 'cradle to grave' soldering solution, from Amerway high-purity soldering alloys and products to Conecsus waste recycling solutions for dross and other metals waste by-products from the SMT/PCB assembly process.
Balver Zinn Cobar SN100C is a nickel-stabilized tin copper eutectic, containing a small amount of germanium to reduce oxidation. SN100C generates bright and shiny solder joints, comparable with lead-containing solders. In 2005, NASA tests indicated that SN100C is the most reliable soft solder for wave soldering. SN100C is especially preferred for the higher process temperatures of selective soldering.
In making the announcement, Terry Buck, President, said, "Amerway Inc. recently awarded ISO 9001 quality certification, is pleased to offer Balver Zinn Cobar SN100C in addition to our own Amerway Inc. products. Our full range of soldering solutions, in addition to waste recycling programs with partner Conecsus, will be available in our booth at SMTAI this year."

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.
