Dow's DOWSIL EG-4175 Silicone Gel is engineered for insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules operating at higher voltages. Designed for demanding applications in electric vehicles, photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. Withstands temperatures up to 180°C. Reduces power losses, supports higher power densities and delivers improved vibration absorption. Self-healing properties repair microcracks, while self-priming adhesion ensures secure module protection without primers. The gel cures at room temperature for energy savings or can be heat-accelerated to shorten production cycles. EV battery voltages trends upward from 400V to 800V.

Transition Automation's Permalex Universal Holder and Blade System engineered for the MyPro S30 Series of SMT Printers. Integrates Permalex Edge Squeegees into a lightweight universal holder. Extends compatibility and efficiency in stencil printing applications. Incorporates positive blade stop referencing with a viewing window. Ensures precise blade seating, along with Transition’s Soft-Touch Gentle articulating paste retainer system. Holders available in four colors: blue, silver, green, and red to assist operators in color-coding lines or paste chemistries to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Designated under part number MY1-LxxxW30T10-B-E.

LongCloud Engineering’s SMT Spool is a tool-less fastening standoff. Enables precise, rapid horizontal board alignment. Align to the mounting hole, slide laterally and the assembly locks in about a second. Cuts screw-based assembly time by nearly 90% while reducing board-to-board collision risk. Custom heights provide controlled spacing for layout optimization and create thermal channels that improve airflow in high-density servers. Designed for full SMT automation. Spool is a pick-and-placeable with vacuum nozzles and is permanently secured during reflow. Available in standard sizes with custom design services for quick, repeatable, and reversible module installs.

Nectec's SMT lineup adds smart pick-and-place (desktop, high-speed, multi-function, odd-form and LED/DOB/LED-lens models up to 1500 mm), one-click feeder-cart change, QR/barcode traceability and smart feeders. Pairs with 3D-CT/HDR automated X-ray inspection and a high-speed X-ray counter (99.9% in 7 s, 7–17″ reels, down to 01005) with ERP/MES/WMS connectivity. Rounds out the line with precise lead-free reflow ovens (6/8/10/12 zones) and a co-developed soldering materials range for higher throughput and yield.
