Mezza-pede SMT connectors now include a lower profile DHAL header that reportedly reduces board stack height by 15%. Features 0.025" insulator. When paired with mating socket model DHS, a z-axis stack height of 0.132" is achievable. Facilitates a reduction in package height and a shorter signal path in applications ranging from tunable laser power connectors in optical transceivers to handheld medical electronics. For use in 1mm pitch board-to-board and cable-to-board interconnections in high-density electronic designs. DHAL is available with 14 positions and features SMT lead frame and pin design that combines high-reliability screw-machined terminals with over-molded lead frame in a precision-molded LCP insulator. Is RoHS compliant, usable at operating temperatures from -55° to +125°C; can handle up to 1.1A current at 80°C.

The HWTREK Project Development Hub update adds cloud-based collaboration features to improve IoT manufacturing supply chain visibility and transparency and increase efficiency. Integrates professional network (expert ecosystem community) and productivity software (collaboration tools). Collaboration tools connect hardware developers and the supply chain, other resources, and services for the lifecycle of a product. New collaboration features include group-based problem solving and task management; a to-do list that collects messages in need of urgent attention; contact list that tracks partners and team members, frequent contacts, and potential collaborators; work stored in a central location, and document timestamping.

S100 table top depaneling saw for singulating printed circuit board panels is up to 12" long. Diamond saw blade is 2.95" in diameter and 0.022" thick. Boards up to 0.25” thick can be cut. Provides low stress method to singulate panels and backplanes with sensitive surface mount components close to the edge of parting section. PCB is placed onto positioning rails of linear bearing guided table; table is moved with panel forward to make cut. Adjustable guide blades underneath scoreline are for board alignment. Cutting depth can be set to cut through PCB. Any components that overhang parting line remain intact. Built-in dust extraction plenum around saw blade pulls particles into HEPA filter. Additional vacuum wand can remove dust buildup on PCB edges. Dust extraction vacuum is available separately.

VarioFlex curtain nozzle is for selective conformal coating processes. Provides application via dispensing, spraying, jetting and curtain casting on-the-fly. Is designed for high-speed and precision applications. Extension arm is 12mm in diameter and 60mm long. “Lacquer curtain” is applied as closed film without spray mist and with precise edge sharpness. Has integrated turning unit; lacquer curtain automatically turns 90° at lacquer program’s request. Internal sensor query supports the applicator’s exact angular positioning (0° and 90°); typical process speeds are 300-800mm/s. Applicator is furnished with PTFE coating. Solvent bath with integrated brushes and fill level monitoring is available. Up to five different parameter sets with beam widths of 3 to 20mm can be retrieved during application of an assembly without having to reinitiate measuring unit.
