Building on its portfolio of high-speed backplane connectors, Tyco has introduced the Z-PACK MAX connector as a cost-effective interconnect for backplane applications where high speed, high density and high performance are needed.
“In listening to our customers we heard the need for a cost effective high-speed product and quickly focused significant resources in responding to that need. The result of that effort is the Z-PACK MAX product line,” said Bob Hnatuck, high-speed backplane connector product manager. “One of our goals is to offer a portfolio of products which provides our customers with options and gives them the flexibility to meet their requirements. The Z-PACK MAX backplane connector system performs at speeds up to 10 Gbps and beyond for applications including servers, storage devices, switches, routers and similar high-speed signal applications.”
To achieve the 10+ Gbps speed, ground contacts are positioned within each connector column and are combined with lead frame arrangements within the connector to achieve low crosstalk and high throughput. Employs a shield-less design. Dual point contact mating and compliant pin board mounting help ensure reliability. Meet Telcordia requirements and are RoHS compliant.
Available in a five-pair version (with 26 pairs per 10 mm, or 66 differential pairs per in.), or a four-pair version (with 21 pairs per 10 mm, or 53 differential pairs per in.). Accommodate 25.40 mm (five pair) and 20.32mm (four pair) card slot spacing. Planned product extensions include a three-pair version for narrow card pitch applications, right angle pin headers for coplanar applications, vertical receptacles for mezzanine applications and high-speed cable assemblies.

K2000 motorized circular blade depanelizer separates prescored PCBs without dust or scrap. Available with XY table for improved board handling.
PCB panels are singulated by passing the scoreline between two circular blades. Front and back blade guards assure operator safety. An adjustable upper front blade guide assures that only the scoreline can be passed to the cutting area.
When using the XY table, the operator places the PCB onto the guide rails of the table and brings the scoreline between the top and bottom blade guards to pass it to the cutting area. The motor driven lower blade of the K2000 will pull the PCB through to separate the panels. Two cutting speeds are available for optimal PCB separation. Singulates panels up to 12.5 in. Blades are made of tool steel and can be re-sharpened.
The tooling plate for Simm cards allows exact placement of the PCB matrix onto the moveable base. The plate is positioned on the right side for singulating the carrier strip on the left of the panels and then moved to the other side to singulate the remaining carrier strip. Adjustable end stops for the tooling plate allow for positioning of the scoreline with the circular blades. Tooling pins and support rails for either side of the panel provide safe placement and support of the SIMM cards. The rails can be adjusted to insure that there is no contact with the components on the cards.

Portable Leak Finder is a troubleshooting tool to find small leaks in chambers, connections or parts.
Is a rechargeable container for helium gas with a spray nozzle similar to an aerosol can. Helium is sprayed onto the suspected leak location of a part or chamber and can then be observed on a mass spectrometer system that continuously measures the helium concentration in the part while under vacuum. A leak is immediately identified if helium is drawn into the part or chamber by the vacuum inside. The mass spectrometer responds to concentration change caused by new helium being drawn into the part or chamber. The timing of the response corresponds with the location of the helium being sprayed at the time of the response to accurately indicate the leak location.
Kit includes a recharge fitting and comes in a protective, custom-made carrying case. Valves, pressure gage and pressure relief valve allow safe recharging of the canister.
