The MT9928 semiconductor test handler offers up to eight parallel test sites, can test 28,000 UPH, and supports changeover between different types of device under test packages in a short time. Can test semiconductor devices in a temperature range of -55° to 175°C with up to ±2°C of temperature control accuracy. During the test, the temperature stability of devices can reach ±0.5°C. Can also sync thermal levels between DUT and the temperature cavity more quickly. For large-size components like SO300 and SO430, MT9928 reportedly provides greater test speed (2x or more) than other test handlers. Supports standard SOT, SO, MLF and TO packages from 1.2 x 2 mm to 15 x 21 mm, to 0.4 mm component pin pitch.

Servo-Flo 704-HV two-component dispense system is said to be ideal for automated, semiautomated or robotic dispensing applications. A dual servo motor design dispenses various-sized mixed material volumes and electronically adjusts the material ratio without changing meter hardware. Is a high-volume continuous flow dual-gear meter system that proportions, mixes and dispenses infinite volumes of two-part epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones and acrylics. Provides fixed and variable flow-rate dispensing or variable flow-rate profiling. Operator interface control selects a preset dispense program that adjusts material-volume settings and output flow rates for different-size part batches or extruded bead sizes. Accepts low- to high-viscosity materials.

The Flashstream Vector Programming System reportedly offers the fastest flash programming of NAND and NOR flash memory at speeds as low as 2.5% over theoretical programming minimum; uses Vector Engine. Synchronous operations eliminate the dead times when the DUT waits on the programmer. Designed for high-density flash; programs NAND and NOR Flash up to 32 Gb and has upgradeable RAM for future densities. It comes standard with 4191 Mb (32.7 Gb) memory per site that is upgradeable to handle future densities. Communicates with USB 2.0 between the host PC and programmer. Includes bad block replacement scheme for NAND and low-voltage support.

EP40 is a flexible, two-component epoxy resin compound. Is especially designed for bonding, sealing and casting engineering plastics and metals. Has been formulated to cure readily at ambient or more quickly at elevated temperatures with a non-critical one-to-one mix ratio by weight or volume. Reportedly includes superior resistance to thermal cycling and mechanical vibration and shock, and excellent electrical insulation properties. Adheres to engineering plastics, such as polycarbonates, acrylics and ABS to steel, aluminum and other metals. Shear and peel strength for bonding polycarbonates are in the order of 1000 psi and 20 pli respectively, while steel and aluminum bonds yielded shear strength values as high as 1800 and 1500 psi. Said to have service temperature range of -100°F to +230°F.
