Reflow Oven Cleaner is a formulated micro-emulsion for cleaning reflow ovens and wave solder machines. Is a nonflammable, low toxicity and odor solvent for removing all types of flux residues. Is said to prevent buildup of condensed flux residues. Can be used at temperatures of 20°-50°C, with an optimum working temperature of 40°C. Contains inhibitors to prevent corrosion to both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and is compatible with most plastics. Also suitable for many general degreasing applications.

TimingDesigner 9.25 has enhanced Automerge functionality said to dramatically speed interface timing analysis. Permits use of reusable, model-based approach to timing analysis. Connects component timing models to create parameterized interface diagrams that can be used to validate timing and interactively test design alternatives. Interface models can be created early in the design phase to help drive constraint definition and timing budgeting. Propagation delay and signal integrity effects can be added for a more accurate representation of timing margins. Optional TimingDesigner Design Kit Library, for automated analysis process. Also updates Allegro PCB SI flow and features new design validation commands to identify critical margins, ensure proper analysis, and determine timing closure.

McDry Signal Tower with ERC-301AD hygrometer with an alarm system and a wireless temperature/humidity data logger are for McDry electronics drying storage cases. A light signal flashes and an audible alarm sounds when humidity level goes over the set limit for a fixed period of time. After the alarm flashes, the unit saves 10 data readings: one per hr.  The data logger permits viewing and tracking of temperature and RH levels within the cabinet to ensure safe storage of moisture-sensitive components and materials. Export data to Excel. No nitrogen needed; humidity is removed by use of a zeolite desiccant, which is recycled automatically and does not require replacement.
