Model 40366 surface-mount accelerometer is said to have capabilities ideal for implantable medical device applications. Is a variable capacitance, silicon MEMS device designed to meet the requirements for use in implantable devices. Hermetically sealed with a shear bond strength of 1 kg; delivers repeatability of less than 0.035 pF in an SMT footprint of 2.05 x 2.90 mm configured as a three-terminal half-bridge. Features include frequency response of 40 Hz, linearity of less than 1%, transverse sensitivity of less than 1%, a +/-2g full scale for measurement of fractional-g accelerations in the presence of earth’s gravity, and over-range stops with provisions to eliminate electrostatic sticking when the accelerometer is over-ranged.

The Dow Corning DA-6534 high-performance thermal adhesive addresses the issue of overheating in advanced flip-chip BGA devices. Combines silicone-based chemistries with a silver filler to achieve high thermal conductivity and elasticity at high and low temperatures. Achieves thermal resistance of 0.09 cm² C/W at 24µ. Said to offer good dispensability. Bondline thickness can be controlled through pressure and time.

Autograph AG-X Series testers measure loads from 100N to 100kN using a single load cell and are reportedly accurate within ±0.5% with a 1/1000 load cell. Have portable USB memory and Trapezium X software. After testing, USB memory can be used with a PC to analyze data and create reports. Developed using Microsoft.net; allows users to combine graphed results from separate tests, create histograms and X-barR charts, and access data from any Web-based environment. Use large-capacity load cells and testing jigs. Features include 32-bit, 144-mHz MPU, FPGA-controlled synchronized sampling and motor control, 5 kHz sample, 1M pulse per sec. resolution, seven analog input channels, three digital input channels, and precision positioning for all speeds. Come equipped with multiple channel data acquisition, nine language interfaces, resistance values acquisition, and scheduling functions.
