BP Microsystems announces the availability of ISP-PRO socket module to program devices in-circuit.
The programmer can be connected to the board via a cable interface using the production-ready ISP-PRO socket module.
After programming the device in-circuit, users can verify the functionality of the device to determine if it works correctly in the end application. If the user encounters problems with the device, then the board can be programmed on the programmer. This allows the flexibility to rerun or rework boards as needed.

WBC series of wire bondable chip resistors feature self-passivating tantalum nitride thin film technology on silicon substrates.
Absolute tolerance ranges are down to ±0.1%, with absolute TCRs to ±25ppm/°C.

According to Dr. Debasis Roy, director of IRC Advanced Film Division’s Thin Film Business Unit, the resistors have an unmatched resistance range. “We have extended the resistance values for these resistors to range from 10 to 400KW. The extended range allows for better surge protection in higher power applications, such as hybrid circuits.”
Absolute tolerance ranges are down to ±0.1%, with absolute TCRs to ±25ppm/°C.
The resistor film provides stability over time and temperature, for increased power dissipation.
The chip resistors are available in 0202 and 0303 chip sizes. The 0303 center-tapped chips can be used in feedback circuits of amplifiers.

An alternative to liquid epoxy for high-volume epoxy sealing applications, Uni-form epoxy preforms are one-part epoxy resins that are solid at room temperature. When heated, they melt and cure, forming a consistent seal that protects components from dust, moisture, oil, flux, solvents, conformal coatings, and other contaminants.
Close tolerances on preform configurations, consistent pre-mixed ratios of resin to catalyst, and consistent viscosity from beginning to end of batch ensure uniform results.
Can be dispensed as rapidly as 200 to 600 parts/min. with little or no operator training; extensive operator experience is not required for uniform results. Said to eliminate pot-life concerns and costly cleanup procedures. Available in a range of shapes, sizes and materials.

Servo-Flo 505 Fixed-Ratio Meter System is for automated, robotic or manual dispensing applications. This single-servomotor dispensing system allows fixed and variable dispense rates while providing on-ratio materials that meet suppliers’ specifications.
Three levels of operator interface controls are available; these quickly set output flow rates and adjust material volume settings. The automation or the operator can select different stored flow and volume programs.
Has positive rod displacement metering, dispenses precise bead profiles or precision volumetric shots. Flow rates are varied on-ratio during the dispense cycle to provide different shot flows, bead diameters and tip speeds.
Accepts low- to high-viscosity materials and is supplied by pumps or pressure tanks. Meter, control panel and supply can be floor-mounted, portable-cart mounted or enclosed in a cabinet.

The effectiveness of board level EMI/RFI shielding depends on many factors: the design of the shielding can, material choice, thickness, venting, method of attachment and the ‘maximum linear dimension’ (the longest contiguous hole or slot). This maximum opening size is a function of the frequency spectrum of the device being shielded and of the attenuation you are trying to achieve.
Profiled and folded shielding cans offer many benefits, including bespoke design, exceptional co-planarity, low tooling costs etc., but one drawbacks is the corner seam, which can act as an emitter antenna if it is not folded and mounted with care. This corner seam can be soldered for complete integrity in high frequency applications but much of the time, the need is simply to reduce the maximum linear dimension.
A new finger joint arrangement on the corner seam allows two adjacent walls to interlock along the corner seam.

Ultrasonic Systems will demonstrate the Optima Fluxing System at Productronica next month, in Hall A4 Booth 158. A new Ultra-Spray head produces a more vertical spray pattern, ensuring through-hole penetration when using water-based VOC-free fluxes.
Ultrasonically atomizes VOC-free flux into a fine mist, and then traverses the spray under the circuit at programmable speeds, ensuring flux penetration of the plated-through holes.
Can process circuit boards up to 24” (61 cm) wide and 0.250” (6.35 mm) thick, with plated through holes of 0.015” (0.381 mm) in diameter.
