Three instruments are handheld capacitance and LCR (inductance, capacitance, resistance) meters for easy access to component testing; the fourth is a handheld multi-function calibrator/meter that provides two-in-one functionality for on-the-go characterization of process-control devices. The U1701A capacitance meter and U1731A/U1732A LCR meters include one-touch measurements, tolerance testing (with visual and audible indication), value recording (with min., max. and average), and a dual display. U1401A features include simultaneous source-and-measure capability, full-span DMM measurement and recording functions, and a backlit dual display.

Dynamics fluid delivery technology comes on the MicroJet defluxer and is said to offer maximum
impingement energy and fluid flow around and under SMT components.
Independently targeted, precision flow jets impact all four sides of circuit
card assemblies and SMT components as they travel through the wash. Can clean low
standoff BGAs and microBGAs.

Alternate Finger gasket is a variation of the slot mount shielding and electrical contact gasket. Is said to be preferred for applications where a continuous slot is not an ideal option. The beryllium copper fingerstock gasket is manufactured with retention fingers on an alternating pattern. Is available for standard and ultrasoft compression applications. Is also available in several plating finishes. Can be ordered in a variety of lengths and retention fingers at every third or fifth slot. Free samples are available.
