Sasinno USA Receives 2023 EM Innovation Award for Selective Soldering
April 18, 2023 | Sasinno USAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Sasinno USA is pleased to announce that it received a 2023 EM Innovation Award in the category of Solder – Selective for its MAS-i2 Selective Soldering Machine with Electro Magnetic Pump. The award was announced at a ceremony that took place April 14, 2023 during productronica China in Shanghai.
The MAS-i2 has a three-section conveyor system: fluxing, preheating, and soldering. While one board is in soldering, another is in preheating and the third is in fluxing, saving time and enhancing production. The system can equip two fluxer valves, either two of the same valves or two different valves. For example, two drop jet valves enable customers to double production; or one drop jet valve and one micro-spray valve enable the use of two different fluxes simultaneously.
For soldering, the system is equipped with two individual solder pots in two individual Z-axis. The soldering area can accommodate PCBs up to W508 x L508 mm (20" x 20") for two nozzles individually, or W235 x L508 mm (9.25" x 20") for two nozzles in parallel.
Customers can program the system to use only one solder pump, two simultaneously to double the speed, or one solder pump with a larger nozzle first and then another solder pump with a smaller nozzle.
This is a huge benefit if a customer uses two types of flux and two different types of solder for their customers – they do not need to waste time on changing the flux in the tank, cleaning the flux nozzle, changing the flux valve, changing the solder pot, waiting for the solder to melt, calibrating solder pot position, etc. This is the most flexible selective solder system with short cycle times.
Established in 2006, the EM Innovation Awards program strives to recognize and celebrate excellence in the Asian electronics industry, inspiring companies to achieve the highest standards and push the industry forward.
The Sasinno brand stands for “Smart and Steady Innovation.” The company has established a strong worldwide distribution channel with well-trained engineers to support its customers in any location.

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.
