Microtek Laboratories China Adds High-Tech Reflow Oven for Automotive and Transportation Reflow Simulation Testing
June 26, 2018 | Microtek Laboratories ChinaEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Microtek is proud to announce the addition of a 13-zone, active-cooled, Heller reflow oven at its Changzhou, China facility to accomplish reflow preconditioning for test samples. Automotive and Transportation Reliability testing requires aggressive reflow preconditioning cycles prior to reliability testing that demand a 13 zone oven with active water cooling to accomplish properly.
The new reflow oven is also equipped to use an inert nitrogen environment for reflow that protects the soldermask and surface finish from degradation due to oxidation during reflow exposure. Microtek’s commitment to Automotive and Transportation testing also includes the use of 10 thermal shock chambers equipped for "Single Hole" or "Daisy Chain" reliability testing along with 28 humidity and HAST chambers equipped with 256 channels of CAF/ECM/SIR testing capability up to 2000VDC.

Nolan’s Notes: Tariffs, Technologies, and Optimization
10/01/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesLast month, SMT007 Magazine spotlighted India, and boy, did we pick a good time to do so. Tariff and trade news involving India was breaking like a storm surge. The U.S. tariffs shifted India from one of the most favorable trade agreements to the least favorable. Electronics continue to be exempt for the time being, but lest you think that we’re free and clear because we manufacture electronics, steel and aluminum are specifically called out at the 50% tariff levels.
