October 6, 2017 | Balver Zinn GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The Balver Zinn Group, a leading global manufacturer of solder materials, will exhibit together with LLE Soluciones and Repstronics at the SMTA Mexico Expo & Tech Forum. The SMTA Mexico Expo is scheduled to take place October 18-19, 2017 at the hotel Riu Plaza in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Representatives from LLE, Repstronics and Balver Zinn will display on Booth #121-LLE and #19-28 a complete range of solder products, technologies and services.
Cobar OT2M is a rosin based solder paste classified as ROL0 according J-STD-004 and available in all common alloys. Cobar OT2M exhibits a long stencil life, excellent wetting performance and reduces voiding. The unique flux formulation produces clear and hardly visible residues and is available as a no-clean formulation for all applications such as high-end and automotive. The Cobar OT2M solder paste will be produced by LLE to ensure a committed supply to our valued customers in Mexico.
Brilliant B2012 solder wire is halide-free, rosin based and designed for manual and robotic soldering. B2012 is odorless and shows excellent solder and wetting performance. Brilliant B2012 is available in SN100C, SAC305 (SN97C) and Sn63 alloys with a standard flux content of 2,2 percent. Balver Zinn wires are available in diameters from 0.3 to 3.5mm.
The upcoming SMTA Expo is the Mexico platform to discover the unique and highly respected lead-free solder SN100C range. SN100C is a nickel-stabilized tin copper eutectic alloy, containing a small amount of Germanium to minimize oxidations. SN100C offers bright and shiny solder joints, comparable with lead-containing joints.
Also on display will be Cobar flux 390-RO-HT a high-end, No-Clean rosin based flux technology for wave and selective soldering applications. Cobar flux 390-RO-HT is a modified version of the high reliable 390-RX-HT flux and is classified ROL0 according to IPC standard J-STD-004.
390-RO-HT offers the highest reliability in humid environmental conditions and provides outstanding soldering results for use in high-tech and industrial applications.

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.
