Threaded PEM ReelFast SMT spacers/nuts are available in more thread sizes to satisfy a range of application requirements. The fasteners are suited to space or stack PCBs or (as nuts) to mount boards or attach components. They install on PC boards in the same manner and at the same time as other surface-mount components prior to the automated reflow solder process.
Said to reduce the risk of damage to boards (and resulting scrap) that may occur when improperly installing fasteners with off-line equipment; reduce handling of loose parts; and speed assembly by eliminating secondary operations.
Threaded types are offered in sizes #2-56 through #8-32 and M2 through M4; thru-hole (non-threaded) types are available in sizes .116”, .143”, 3.6 mm and 4.2 mm. Lengths range from .065 to .375” and 2 to 10 mm. All types can be installed in boards as thin as .060” and all are RoHS compliant.
Tape-and-reel packaging for their automated installation conforms with industry standards and preferences for other surface-mount components. Each reel carries up to 1,500 parts, depending on fastener size. Fasteners are supplied with Kapton patch for vacuum pickup.

Feinfocus and Xradia announce a new 3-D x-ray inspection technology for the semiconductor packaging and medical device industries.
The microXCT defect detection system uses non-destructive 3-D tomography to view the complete structure of advanced packages. Unlike conventional x-ray imaging systems that lose resolution during tomography, this system scans packages in 3-D at full resolution. Multiple resolution modes allow users to switch from navigation at 30µm to high-resolution defect localization and characterization at 1 µm. Automated 3-D tomography features virtual cross-section capability, eliminating the need for sample preparation. Can image and construct a high-resolution 3-D Volumetric dataset with up to 1000 cross-sectional slices in 15min. Has a compact design.

LDC LDC-319 Micro-Probe is a micro size radiometric detector developed for medical and photobiological applications as well as general radiometry.
Mmeasures 2.5 x 2.5 x 20 mm, enabling it to operate in remote limited space applications.
In combination with a single or multi-channel optometer, irradiance from 1 nanowatt/cm² to 3 watts/cm² (limited exposures) over a 250 to 1100 nm spectral range can be measured and monitored.
Stainless steel housing makes it suitable for medical use; includes a 2.3 x 5 mm RADIN diffuser for cosine corrected measurements.
Certification of absolute calibration in watts/cm² at any or all wavelengths between 250 to 1100nm including relative spectral responsivity plot, is supplied for each detector.

The μCT-FOX 2D/3D x-ray inspection system now offers hardware-based modular high-end volumetric isotropic rendering. Combines high-resolution 2-D x-ray technology with 3-D computed tomography techniques for inspection and analysis of complex electronic devices. Using dedicated hardware processors, the added hardware and software capability enhances defect detection, ideal for complex electromechanical component inspection applications.
A hardware and software based CT solution represents the next-generation of CT user interface. Has improved volumetric isotropic rendering, volumes can be produced that reveal the depth value required for a full 3-D analysis. Modular CT package can gather data sets from 2-D x-ray inspection systems and process them through a CT reconstruction engine. The resulting high-resolution CT images can be instantaneously uploaded to the internet, in real-time, using proprietary iView technology developed by TeraRecon. This feature allows F/A service labs to transmit CT imagery instantly using a secure internet connection. The software is integrated into Feinfocus GUI version 2.2, allowing users to save digital images in JPG, TIF, or BMP formats.

Version 5.0 of CXInsight for Electronics is a powerful project content management system that allows internal and external collaboration between project members across OEM and manufacturing sites. The release delivers functionality for flexible server-to-server connectivity across the electronics supply chain, based upon a peer-to-peer structure.
With server-to-server connectivity and appropriate authorisation, server owners can connect to other servers and work with their own fixed clients on all linked servers across different projects and through different firewalls. This allows partners to access data, track changes and perform required tasks while maintaining data integrity. A ‘two phase commit’ protocol ensures that data is intact and correct at all times, at all locations.
Jan Keijzer, managing director, said, “For true freedom in supply chain collaboration, server-to-server connectivity allows for multiple connections between the ‘owner’ of the data and all its external partners – in a secure and controlled environment, without compromise to rights control and management. It also allows customers to establish new collaborations with ease and flexibility, unlike in a client-server configuration. Since the launch of CXInsight, we are making good business in the OEM sector, where this added functionality is certainly required.”
