Amerway Exhibiting High Purity Solder Products at IPC APEX EXPO 2018
December 12, 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 IPC APEX EXPO 2018, which will be held at the San Diego Convention Center on February 27–March 1, 2018. Amerway will be in Booth 2502.
Amerway provides the SMT industry with a wide range of solder products from solder bar to solder paste, wire, and more. In addition to their own premium products, Amerway offers Balver Zinn Cobar Solder Products including the well-known lead-free SN100C family of alloys.
Amerway offers customers a 'cradle to grave' solution ranging from new alloys to metals waste recycling in partnership with Conecsus LLC, an ISO 14001 EMS certified recycling company and a refiner of SMT solder/solder paste wastes and residues.
In making the announcement, Terry Buck, president, said, "Amerway, recently awarded ISO 9001 quality certification, is pleased to offer Balver Zinn Cobar SN100C in addition to our own Amerway product line. Our full range of soldering solutions, in addition to waste recycling programs with partner Conecsus, will be available in our booth at APEX next year."
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.

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.
