ITW EAE’s Vitronics Soltec received recognition for the SMTA China Best Exhibit Technology which featured the new Centurion reflow oven. This award recognizes NEPCON exhibitors who display outstanding equipment. Vitronics Soltec was also honored by SMTA for the most Outstanding Paper of the TC1 Technology Conference. The paper discussed design improvements for selective soldering assemblies in Selective Soldering Systems. These awards were presented at the SMTA China Reception and Recognition Award Ceremony on April 26, 2016, during NEPCON China in Shanghai.
For 100 years Vitronics Soltec has provided innovative and reliable soldering solutions. The Centurion Reflow Oven, introduced in this centennial year, features best-in-class thermal performance and improved sustainability driving power and nitrogen consumption to a minimum. Combined with Cathox, a new patented flux management system, makes the Centurion the best value in the industry.
The ZEVAm Selective Soldering platform delivers the best process capabilities for an entry level price in the point-to-point soldering market. The highly flexible and customizable ZEVAm can easily solder the most complex PCBs in process today, and can process three PCBs simultaneously for high throughput in a high mix environment. It’s what you need to meet current and future challenges in mixed production, fine pitch soldering and process control for the selective soldering process.
The SMTA China Recognition Program strives to recognize and celebrate excellence in the electronics industry, inspiring its member companies and exhibitors to achieve the highest technology standards and move the industry forward. All nominees are juried by SMTA China’s Technical Committee and winners are announced at the SMTA China Reception and Recognition Award Ceremony and presented with a plaque and billboard to display.

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.
