Conecsus Offers SMT Metals Waste Recycling Solutions at SMTAI 2019
August 13, 2019 | ConecsusEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Conecsus, LLC, an innovative environmental technology and recycling company, will be an exhibitor at the SMTA International 2019 Conference and Exhibition, September 24-25, 2019 in booth #228 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Conecsus’ representatives will illustrate how the company processes wastes containing primarily tin, tin-zinc, lead, Silver, gold, and copper, and converts them into usable metal products for sale into the global market.
Conecsus will be co-located in booth #228 with Amerway, Inc., a domestic manufacturer and provider of a wide range of soldering alloys and bar and wire solder products. Together, Conecsus and Amerway offer customers a ‘cradle to grave’ solution ranging from high-purity soldering alloys to waste recycling solutions for dross and other metals waste by-products from the SMT/PCB assembly process. Amerway, Inc. is located in Altoona, Pennsylvania, USA.
Conecsus’ Tom Mitchell, North American Business Manager, will illustrate how Conecsus’ recycling technology benefits the SMT/PCB electronics manufacturer and how it represents a new way of dealing with metals-contaminated waste in an increasingly environmentally-conscious manufacturing world. “Using patented, advanced recycling technologies, Conecsus keeps its customers compliant with local, state, and federal regulations while decreasing their carbon footprint and reportable waste streams,” Mitchell says.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
