The Axiom X-1000 series dispenser is intended for manufacturing in Class 100 cleanrooms. Is designed for applications sensitive to contamination by sub-micron-sized particles. Configured to minimize particle generation within the dispense area. All pneumatic valves are said to be exhausted to the base of the machine. Connection to the house vacuum reportedly avoids downstream particle emissions entering the cleanroom. Is said to be configurable for single or dual-valve dispensing.
The Q2 high-speed connector options have been expanded with integrated power pins, RF connectors and retention pins. Come with positive alignment features, edge-mount and right-angle design variations, single-ended and differential signal routing, and optional EMI shielding. In 10 or 11mm mated height and signal pins on 0.635 mm pitch. Available with up to 156 I/Os per connector set in single-ended configuration and up to 64 pairs in a differential pair configuration. Pricing begins at 0.08¢ per line at 5,000 interconnects.
