Direct Board Interconnect Technology (DBiT) process for terminating lead wires or flexible circuits directly on to a PCB eliminates connectors, while producing a high quality connection. Performs direct connection of wire, component lead, or flex circuit via a crimping system. Requires no soldering. Continuous-feed splicing material process.

CA-102 conductive adhesive, for bonding components to circuit boards, has a moderate glass transition temperature (Tg) and modulus. Rheology is optimized for screen printing and can be needle-dispensed by time-pressure, auger or positive displacement. Provides conductivity stability during damp heat testing on tin, silver and copper surfaces. For requiring lower-stress, lower-temperature processing or Pb-free applications

S3088 Conformal Coating Inspection system inspects coatings for cracks, bad spots, layers that are too thin or too thick, smearing, impurities, or splashes. Transparent protective coatings contain UV fluorescent indicators that emit visible light, allowing automatic optical inspection. Based on S3088 system, features four orthogonal 8Mp cameras and UV LEDs. Resolution 11.7 or 23.5µm/pixel. Works with Viscom SI inspection software. Integrates in production control systems. Works with UV LEDs, which contrasts UV-reactive conformal coating with the background material, clearly detecting lacquer contours.
