DSEC Series high-speed dual-stack edge-card socket accepts two 1.6 mm-thick PCB cards. This 0.8 mm pitch system, in a right-angled configuration, permits dual-stacked cards at 7 mm spacing between cards. Available with 30, 40 or 50 edge-rate contacts per row. Is optimized for signal integrity and impedance control, high cycles, reduced broadside coupling, and low insertion and withdrawal force. Pb-free solder charge terminations for easy board processing are standard; SnPb solder charges optional. Additional card spacings and an elevated single-card system also available.

The iTherm-100 test station is a turnkey system of laboratory instruments and sensors for studies that require precise airflow velocity and temperature measurement. Applications include thermal management studies on boards, heat sinks, fans, ATCA cards, and racks. Includes a benchtop, laboratory-grade wind tunnel, automated controller, and multiple sensors. Can be used for characterizing airflow and measuring pressure drop across heat sinks and over other PCB components. With an attached thermocouple, it can be used for individual thermal management studies on CPUs and other hot components.

ESD susceptibility labels come in integrated dispenser (item 06735). Have ESD susceptibility RS-471 symbol. A roll includes 1,000 2" x 2" labels. Identify assemblies and devices that have sensitivity to ESD events. Can be used to close shielding bags and seal ESD protective packaging. Dispenser is made with groundable static dissipative material (10E6 - 10E8 ohms) and may be used around ESD susceptible items or placed on an ESD work surface to connect to ground. Replacement rolls available.

RC200 radial coat valve sprays low-viscosity fluids onto the inside walls of a cylinder to create a layer of coating. Integrates front closing valve technology, to start and stop fluid flow, with an air motor to spin the coating nozzle. Nozzle rotation uses centrifugal force to propel the fluid directly onto cylinder walls in a 360° pattern. Fluids include water, solvents and low-viscosity lubricants.

QX Hawk barcode imager now includes an HX-Mode 3.0 firmware upgrade, more accessory options, and a new CCD version. Combines HUbarcode readingUH with autofocus to read HU1D and 2D barcodesUH in any orientation. Provides improved algorithms for reading direct part marks, additional symbologies such as Aztec Code, Micro QR, Pharmacode, and postal codes, and adds XML for advanced programming. Ethernet/IP protocol support for all standard PLCs, plus integration with latest version of Contrologix is included. CCD version with a 1.2 Mp sensor provides expanded read ranges for decoding tiny 2D and barcode marks, or reading within large areas. Features a high-resolution modular optical zoom system. Uses X-Mode decoding technology to read any barcode mark at distances from 50 to 500 mm and beyond, from a high-density 0.0033" Data Matrix to a large linear code to a low-contrast DPM.
