Current rating is 3 amps and mates with a 0.025" square or round pin with entry on either end. Can accommodate a minimum of twelve mating cycles without degradation.

Designed for automation with existing pick-and-place equipment and the Surf-Shooter SMTT feeder system—to avoid fixturing and hand placement. Available in surface-mount tape pockets for use with a standard tape and reel feeder.

The system joins a host of recent introductions that has enabled the transition of the SlimKIC 2000 from primarily a reflow tool to a universal thermal process tool for cure, rework and wave solder.

Is designed to be used repeatedly in the wave solder machine. Holds the SlimKIC in place during each run to measure pertinent process data, including peak temperature, dwell time, parallelism and conveyor speed.

ProtoMat S62 circuit board plotter delivers prototyping capabilities at an entry-level price, reducing board production time while increasing overall accuracy and ease-of-use. Combining its maximum milling speed of 6" (150 mm)/sec. with its system resolution of 0.01 mils (0.25 µm) and 62,000 RPM spindle motor, the plotter produces extremely fine traces for all types of PCBs, including RF and microwave boards.

Has integrated head lighting and a 10-position automatic milling tool changer. Its motorized z-axis drive independently moves the plotter milling head over multiple axes, providing 3-D plotting capability for machining front panels and housings. Does not require external compressed air or chemicals, is enclosed by a soundproof acoustic cabinet. Optional accessories include a fiducial recognition camera system for automatic front-to-back alignment and an integrated vacuum tabletop for mounting PCB substrates on the plotter.
