Multicore MP218 halide-free, no-clean solder paste is optimized for SnPb processes yet compatible with Pb-free device finishes. Is comprised of similar raw materials, activators and other components as used in next generation Pb-free solders. Offers wider reflow capabilities to overcome wetting issues caused by the combination of SnPb solder and Pb-free device finishes.
Is designed to operate under elevated Pb-free temperatures (up to 260°C). Is said to have high humidity resistance. Anti-tombstoning formulation is designed to extend the liquidus time of solder during reflow, increasing the wetting window for each end of the component.
Newark InOne, a small-quantity distributor of electronic components and test equipment in North America and a subsidiary of global Premier Farnell, has posted a downloadable Guide to the WEEE Directive on its RoHS Express website: newarkinone.com/rohs.
The guide was designed to help U.K. businesses comply with the WEEE legislation, which has a newly extended deadline of June 2006. The guide also has relevance for North American companies, as the need for recycling solutions will grow along with the number of e-recycling (electronics recycling) laws in the U.S. and Canada .
Unlike its sister directive, RoHS, each E.U. member state will differ in how it implements WEEE, which deals with the collection, treatment and recovery of nearly any electrical or electronic product that ends up in a landfill. Similarly, in the absence of national legislation, 28 states are writing their own WEEE-type laws. The RoHS Express site offers a guide to pending and existing environmental legislation in the U.S. and Canada.

DEK is expanding its range of tooling options for its printers by introducing the smaller, cost-effective Grid-Lok technology.
The new tooling system features reduced dimensions, moving from the current modules of 6 x 18 in. to 4 x 12 in. in the new system.
Features a modular array of pneumatically controlled tooling pins that conform to the underside of the board including contact with components. Each of the 12 tooling pins is tipped with anti-static material and locked independently. Pressure exerted by each pin during lift is approximately 5 g. Capable of working with boards from 50 x 50 mm to 500 x 500 mm. The conforming sequence is initiated by the operator, and is ready for use within 2 sec.
In fully automatic mode the system is controlled through the Instinctiv interface which can set its profile for every product passing through the machine.
Grid-Lok is compatible with Horizon, Infinity API, Micron Class Galaxy and Europa platforms.

Raychem Circuit Protection, a business unit of Tyco Electronics, introduced RoHS-compliant slow blow surface-mount fuses. Produced in industry standard 1206 chip sizes, the fuse line is said to offer small size, high reliability, strong arc suppression characteristics and high current ratings for the 1206 form factor.
Ffor DC power applications of up to 63VDC, slow blow fuses provide overcurrent protection on systems that experience large and frequent current surges during normal operation. Available in current values from 1.0 to 8.0 A, applications include protection of power supplies, capacitor filter banks, LCD backlight inverters and electric motors.
Features:
• 4 hrs minimum at 100% of rated current;
• 120 sec. maximum and 1 sec. minimum at 200% of rated current;
• 3 sec. maximum and 0.1 sec. minimum at 300% rated current;
• 0.05 sec. maximum and 0.002 sec. minimum at 400% of rated current.
Designed for operating temperatures between -55º and +125ºC, withstands soldering temperatures up to 260ºC for 60 sec. maximum.
Available on 7 in. (178 mm) reels for high-volume assembly methods; are UL recognized.

Smart Fan products family offers internal methods to control fan speeds according to ambient temperatures. Fan operation is thermally controlled to meet cooling needs vs. continuous operation. This reportedly enables longer operating life, lower noise and reduced cost of operation. Applications include computers, peripherals, servers, power supplies, workstations and telecom equipment.
Offers a variety of sensor technologies provided within the immediate fan housing. These range from thermistors to Hall Effect sensors to Chip-On-Board thermal controller devices. Available for volume requirements in sizes from 40 x 40 x 15 mm to 120 x120 x 38 mm.
Has linear ramp control, featuring two temperature set points (no limit). Optional switch function provides programmable temperature-based control for turn-on/turn-off (such as turning off when temperature falls to 35°C, etc.).
Options include: Delay Start –enables fans to be hot-swapped or changed without powering down the system; Ramp Start – prevents inrush currents, placing less stress on circuits; Current Limitation and Fan Speed Limitation – fan runs at constant speed while operating at higher-than-rated voltage; Fan Performance Sensor (FPS) - provides preset RPM threshold, delay, non-latching and latching functions to determine fan failures; Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) - Controls fan speed by switching the power on and off very rapidly.
Series includes models featuring MagLev technology. Wiring and connector harnessing can be provided for circuitry interface and simple installation. Manufactured in compliance with RoHS Pb-Free materials and processes. MagLev models also feature all-plastic manufacture of major items for insulation resistance and ESD performance.
