Conecsus’ SMT Metals Waste Recycling Solutions ‘in Line’ with the Times
October 27, 2020 | Conecsus, LLCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Conecsus’ SMT metals waste recycling solutions are perfectly aligned with our current troubled times, where smart conservation of materials and money are key elements of manufacturing business strategies, according to Tom Mitchell, Conecsus LLC’s North American Business Manager. “Our customized recycling programs and approach not only keeps our customers ‘greener’, but puts money back in their pockets as well, something especially important in these COVID-troubled times,” he says.
Conecsus LLC is an innovative metals recycling company that 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 pays the customer back in cash for the waste picked up.
“We’re an ISO 14001 EMS certified refiner of SMT solder/solder paste wastes, and our customized programs help customers manage their metals waste and put money back into their pockets that would otherwise have been lost. Paying to dispose of metals waste as hazardous waste is the old way of doing things; recycling metals waste is the new, greener way that makes environmental and economic sense.”

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.
