The line of 5145P3 Series PCB mount mini-din connectors will now be available with a full metal shield and EMI/RFI gaskets on the mounting face for conducted and radiated noise suppression. Available in 3 through 8 pin configurations, the gasket option for is the same one used on the RJ-45 connector line. The new connectors also have high temperature material in the housing and can be ordered in a RoHS-compliant configuration.

The conductive gasket provides EMI/RFI noise attenuation and is interchangeable with shielded and unshielded versions (same footprint and panel cutout). The connectors are said to be easy to mount.

They provide easily identified pin configurations for applications that require multiple mini-din connectors on a single PC board or device.

EP77M-F is a two-component, silver filled, electrically conductive epoxy adhesive for high-performance bonding. The compound has a low volume resistivity of 10^-3 ohm-cm. It will set up in 5-10 min. at room temperature, even when applied in very small amounts. Full cure usually takes 8-12 hrs at room temperature. Electrical conductivity is first detectable within 30-60 min.

Has high bond strength to similar and dissimilar substrates. Adheres to metals, glass, ceramics, vulcanized rubbers and most plastics. Bonds are resistant to thermal cycling and chemicals including water, oil and most organic solvents. Has a service operating range of 4°K to +125°C.

Has a one-to-one mix ratio, by weight or volume. Can be applied with minimal sagging or dripping even on vertical surfaces. It is 100% reactive and does not contain any diluents or solvents.

Available in glass jars, metal containers or syringes.

SmartScopeQuest650, a large-measurement-volume dimensional metrology system, now has programmable five-axis measuring. A motorized dual rotary indexer allows sensors to measure features anywhere on complex parts. Metrology software supports simultaneous five-axis motion, keeping the coordinate system aligned with the rotating part. This system measures parts such as turbine blades, vanes and airfoils.

Includes high-speed linear motors, a large working volume, support of a variety of sensors (video, laser, touch probe, micro-probe) and the ability to switch between sensors at any point in a measurement routine.

The patented zoom lens, designed for precision video metrology, is telecentric and is said to provide a clear, high contrast image with virtually zero distortion.

Features a massive granite base and a thermally stable Meehanite bridge, providing stability over an xyz measurement volume of 600 x 660 x 300 mm (24 x 26 x 12"). The z-axis range can be extended to 400 mm (16").
